I did this and if you take your car far from home I would advise against it because: Reason #2) The production of the adapter U-joint has greatly fallen off and therfore the price has risen sharply on these U-joints and they are incerasingly harder to find. I was told this by a rep for Mancini Racing. reason #1) [and more importantly] My adapter U-joint failed 500 miles from home. I had a devil of a time getting another one. If it were a regular U-joint I would have been able to walk into any auto parts store and buy one but because it was the adapter U-joint the auto parts stores I went to could not even figure out how to look it up. Bottom line for me is I decided to fix it right. I was going to change the yoke but decided to change the gear ratio too so I changed the whole carrier. This solved two problems and if I never tear up a U-joint again I know I just have to get to a local auto parts store to pick up another one.
