U Joints for front Rubicon D44 / M210

[4x4tographer]

Hey all - trying to stock up on a few spare u joints for my axle shafts ahead of a trip on the Rubicon. I have a 2018 Rubicon with the D44 / M210 front axle. Factory axle shafts.

Having some difficulty figuring out exactly what ujoint is an appropriate drop-in replacement.

In checking the schematics on some of the Mopar parts sites (AZ Wholesale Mopar generally has pretty competitive pricing for OE parts), I noticed they're asking for $105 freaking dollars for a ujoint (68476678AA). Quadratec wants $160. Highway robbery.

What alternative ujoint replacements have you guys verified as a fit?



TIA

Is it not a 1550 u-joint?
go with a Spicer / Dana 5-155X $50.00

Isn’t that for the drive shaft? Apologies, I should have been more concise, I was referring to the axle shaft ujoints at the wheels.

I cant confirm it would fit or not. I got one before one trip just in case but never needed it.
Another route you can consider. See if you can get a set of front axle shafts from someone for cheap (or even for free). They are heavier than just the u-joint but easy to pack as spare parts.

Just my thoughts, when I went, I took my old stock front and rear axle shafts, (and spare tierod, draglink, trackbar, driveshaft, floorjack, more tools, etc) and left them in the pickup parked at Ice House Resort. I did carry one U-joint on the trail for the new larger Dana chromoly axles as well. I bought a spare rear driveshaft from Rubitrux for pretty decent money. I recently added a small pile of hardware for suspension and brakes, just one or two bolts and nuts of the critical stuff like control arms and trackbars.
