In the middle of doing U joints on rusty 2.0 (87 ranger 2wd/5sp), i pulled both the front slip and rear yokes off not thinking, nature called and i had to answer, went back out and i forgot which is front and back on the driveshaft.

Im 99% i remember, but does it even matter? Dont want to redo this for a while...

If there are balancing weights, those are generally toward the rear though.

Oh man oh man those are some dry rotted tires then! lol

Decades ago, I had a tire on my girlfriend's car pop hitting a curb at about 3mph. Those were pretty rotted.
