Title: Front axle u-joint
Post by: StingRay66 on July 23, 2012, 06:57:04 PM
I have instructions on how to change it but what kind should I buy expensive?, cheap? greaseable? non-graseable? I looked on RockAuto.com and I can get them for as little as $7 or as much as $40 help me out here guys!

I had bad luck with the Brute Force Lifetime warranty joints, would not fit my shafts.  If you don't mind swapping them regularly the $7 sealed joints worked fine for me.  But I have found that I only get about 12-18k miles per set before they wear out or dry up.  I just rebuilt my spare shafts with Spicer joints, hoping to go a little further on them.  Dale at Ironman can get Spicer joints, I am assuming Kevin at Jeepers Creepers can too.
