    Seems like most of the autos use
    $28 5-1330x U-Joint Kit 1330/SPL25 Series (OSR)
    5-1330x u-joints and the manuals have 5-1350x. I don’t know that that is a hard fast rule.

    For my manual truck with 1350 joints, the parts were:

    37230-09080 - Bearing set, center support
    04371-04101 - Spider kit, universal (u-joint) x3

    I imagine the center support bearing is the same on all 3Gs, but I don’t know for sure. For u-joints, I’d just measure what you have, figure out if it’s 1330 or 1350, and buy the corresponding spicer non-greasable parts.

    I think you are correct regarding the
    $35 5-1330-1X U-Joint Kit
    5-1330-1X U Joints. I noted that the Dana 10023638 driveshaft specs indicate it is a 1330 series driveshaft.

    I have to imagine it’s either transmission based or trim based. Maybe 1330 matches the 8” diff and 1350 matches the 8.75” diff? Since all the manuals have the 8.75”. So maybe the offroad and Pro autos also have 1350, but everything else auto is 1330. I really don’t know, we’d need a poll to find out. Not much good info out there.

    Why not just order the OEM? I would not go aftermarket personally.

    If i could determine the Spicer part number that would be the preferred option.
    Might be 211431X based on the Spicer catalog as it is the only center bearing with a 32mm (1.260”) bore.

    the OEM Center Support Bearing Set Part #37230-09080 lists for an MSRP $325.79 on the Toyota Parts Website.
    This product fits 261 vehicle variants.
