Drive Shaft U Joint Opinion

[shucker1]

Guys,

Replacing U joints before they fail.

Opinions wanted.

Moog/Precision 270 Series

Or

Dana Spicer 1330 Series.

Either way going to be heavy duty with grease fittings on outside of each cup.

I bought them for my trucks a while back, one or both of those brands, from Rock Auto and Amazon. Comparing prices, I got the stronger versions for a good price. I think those brands are still the best choices.

I only buy Spicer solid or non grease able u joints.

After years of destroying normal grease able joints I switched to Spicer solids and I get 3 times the life out of them.

Jury verdict is in.

Cost is not an object.

Dropping the front of the drive shaft on the road is.

It could be painful.

I have used both brands with excellent results. I've launched a driveshaft into orbit from using cheap junk.

I'd stick with the non-greasable joints for serious usage, those are stronger. The type with grease fittings should only be used when people will regularly add grease. If you do fine with the grease-able type, then those are great if you keep up with them.

I do not recommend moog u-joints. I've had too many fitment issues. Their suspension parts are their strong point.
