Re: Front Axle U Joint Question
Once you have access to the axle, then you can swap the part. Getting
the hub out of the steering knuckle is still an SOB of a job the first
time.
Usually CV joints come with the whole axle, in other words the suckers
are expensive. Shops do sell rebuilt units around here.
Even in just buying a new CV joint vs a u-joint there is quite the price
difference.

They are the same. Actually you can swap CV and U-Joint axle assemblies.
