Explorer driveshaft u/j's

[martin]

Ive just spent an hour and a half at Canadian tire trying to get a u/j for the rear of my rear driveshaft. The ones that were listed for my truck were at least a quarter of an inch too large. Anywho to make short of a long story it turned out that the one they had listed for the automatic was the correct size (I hope). Is there really a difference between the auto and manual driveshafts or is there computer system screwed up somehow?

its possible they were looking at the fronts? I know the fronts and rears are different sizes.

No, they were both listings for the rear.

I can't believe nobody's encountered this issue before.
