Yup - that number is molded into the piece that I still had (the cylindrical part) - I noticed it while torqueing the CV joint bolts. Is Camelback a local dealer, or can I get them to send one next-day? Wouldn't that be nice - $20+ for a $3 part. The answers have ranged from this one (correct for the '90) to "no such thing", which could very well be correct for another year-model. My (now-retired) guru says he's seen a lot of variations. Thanks to everyone who responded.
