The drive shaft on my 05 GT has a 1330 u joint that is swedged (no clips) in. I have seen an 08 GT with the same style drive shaft but it has a bigger u joint (1350 I think) and it is clipped in. I asked the Ford parts guy but he can't tell when they changed. I'm curious what u joint configuration the 06's and 07's have. Ford may have even changed it mid-year at some point.

If you happen to know what kind of u joint you have and what the model year (or build date) of your car is that would be really helpful.

Also if you have some pictures of your cars stock drive shaft that would be really helpful too.

Thanks in advance.

I believe its a 1330 and the difference between the numbers is the torque it can handle....not sure about the sizes of said numbers though?

Thanks for the response. My experience has shown that the 1330's (which are smaller joints) are always swedged in (basically there are no clips holding in the caps). I believe Ford went away from this at some point because caps are more likely to be thrown with this method.
