U-JOINTS: i needa u-joint for my driveshaft to cause it clunks when i put it into reverse...any places where i can get one for my steering and my driveshaft?

Go to NAPA for U joints. Get the Spicer brand. Had to replace my front drivers side this weekend. The hardest part is getting the old joint out. See link: http://www.pavementsucks.com/tech/hub.php

when i gun it i can see the gas gauge go down ALOT...like ill have 1/2 a tank and when i gun it it goes down to 1/4 tank...any suggestions on what this might be?
When the gas goes to the back of the tank ... the gauge shows a decrease. If it goes to the front ... an increase. My driveway has a bit of an incline (maybe 10% or so) and when I park (nose up) ... I loose about an 1/8th tank on the gauge ... drive off and it's back up inside of 1/2 mile.

I have a 96 and the same gas gauge problems. It won't fluctuate until below 3/4 of a tank, and then reads odd and is somewhat inaccurate. My gas light also comes on when it says i have about 1/4 of a tank...some kinda weird sending unit i guess..or the actual measuring sensoris janky..i dunno

i have had it literally below empty and the gas light never came on. to be honest im not sure i even have a gas light, and if i do it might be burned out. o well, with an innacurate gauge anyways i just use the odometer.
