Correct Front U Joint

Glad the problem is resolved but the mystery remains.
Any theory on why the Moog 317 does not work and the SKF UJ317 does?
Manufacturing error?

Packaging/ labeling error would be my guess.... Saw this many times in the appliance parts business.
Thing that boggles my mind is it happening to two different part numbers simultaneously 317 & 315G both of which are listed to fit 7260

I can't be the only one that has come across this before....the caliper doesn't lie, the MOOG ones are wider than the original and wider than the SKF yet they are all supposed to be 7260 U joints

Hats off to member jetmeck as it seems that Alan was pulling his hair out trying to sort this out!

Checked the new Moog 315G I just received from Rock Auto using my inexpensive dial caliper, pressing the caps in finger tight.

A - 2.20 inches (clip groove inside edges)
B - 3.26 inches OAL width
C - 1.08 inches cap diameter

The width of the body with the caps removed was 1.575 one cross and 1.580" on the other

Glad to see this thread because it may be a year or more before I actually get to the driveshaft and u-joints; I'm buying parts defensively but definitely restarted that too late to avoid both cheap chinese caca and growing QA problems...
