Prop shaft question...ridgerunner parts???

[Rubberdown]

Does anyone know if the front propshaft for a 500 is the same as the 700 & 800, as in will it fit?

I know that the u-joints on mine are really sloppy, and all the part #'s match from the manuals I have except the actual shaft in the middle of the assembly, so my guess is its either a diameter or a length difference, but since the u-joints have the same part #'s, that kinda rules out the diameter and makes it more likely a length issue right??? Sooo even if it is the wrong length, couldnt I use the u-joints off it, and would $35 be a good deal for 2 u-joints for that, or could I get them somewhere else cheaper????

I think I'm gonna get a pair of hubs, and a set of rear upper and lower control arms also just in case I really mess one up some day.

you would just tear the joints up trying tp get them apart. every time ive ever tried to take apart a u joint it turned out to be in wprse shape when i finished than before i started.

but for 35.00 its worth a try. i just sold mine off my 03 or i would go measure it for you.
