U-joint Suggestions
I discovered tonight on my F350 that the U-joints on the front driveshaft seem to be at the beginning stages of getting ready to fail.. (could move the driveshaft around on them)... When i was looking around for parts I couldnt find the brands I normally like for them.
So was wondering what brands you all trust and are running on yours? Ive seen some company called MOOG all over the place.. but I just cant bring myself to trust them for anything. Have tried their ball joints in the past that i had people tell me were the best out there.. only to have them fail couple months later.
Also please keep in mind I really dont want greasable ones.. I hate doing that enough.. rather not have to do those too..

Moog should still be among the top stuff out there. Personally I'd suggest Dana or Spicer as they're two of the best known names in such components.
Even if you can't find the non-greaseable types you're free to ignore that step---it'd have the same effect in the end though: premature failure.

Was looking at Dana Spicer u-joints yesterday when I was searching since both my axles are dana's.. But wasn't sure if there were better or not. Another site people were suggesting Torque King as being the best. But never heard of them before. And they were $38 a piece.
