Car: '89 Formula
Engine: 355 TPI
Transmission: T56
Axle/Gears: 3.70 9 bolt.
I forgot the PN but both ends take the U-joint that is listed only for the rear of the aluminum shaft... and they're about $25 each. None of the auto parts chains that I know of have the right PN for the front listed correctly.

Jeg's or Summit sells U-joints for alum applications. Call them. I'm sure they'll be able to provide what you need.
