Which u joints?

I'm looking to replace my u joints (and carrier bearing). I plan to get Dana/Spicer u joints and bearing. My problem is that I don't know the names of the u joints to buy. Some of them say front or rear, at the differential, both front and rear, etc. when looking them up on RockAuto. If I want to replace all of the u joints, what are the names of the ones that I need to get? Not brand, but location names. I'm not a mechanic, but I can figure things out and watch youtube videos, but I just dont know which ones to order.

Thanks for any help!

 

I'm going to give a generic answer just to teach people to fish. I'm always wary of posting exact part numbers when it's multiple parts b/c someone is bound to come along and order it thinking "he's got my year!" and ... they use a different part because they're 2WD instead of your 4WD or similar.

What I would do is this:

• Use the EPC-DATA parts site explained in the bullets atop this post: https://www.tundras.com/threads/howto-use-the-toyota-parts-system-to-find-order-parts.113808/
• Go to the site, plug in your VIN into Search as explained ...
• Go to the section "Transmission and Chassis"
• Go to the section "Propeller shaft & universal joint"
• Get the part number(s) for Universal Joint

Once you have the part numbers, take each one (if applicable) and plug it in at RockAuto.com's search feature. For all I know, they're all the same the whole way down. Looks to be so on my '06 4WD at least .

 

Thanks! I was under the impression from their website that at least some are used in more than one place, so I think you're right.

I appreciate the search tool info.
