U-joint recommendation

What are better brands of u-joints for a 2007 E350 5.4 4R75 with single drive shaft? I hear Moog isn’t what it used to be. SKF? Genuine Ford?

What are identifying marks and dimensions? They have snap rings.

A few years ago we lost a u joint in the boonies of Missouri. My only option was a greasable one from Napa. I never had any issues after that. I wish I could tell you the brand, but I don't have a clue. I'd say for stock applications, the biggest thing is to make sure its got a grease zerk.

The Dana/Spicer brand non-greasable versions would be my first choice--have used them in the past with zero issues. They can found through NAPA stores on request or better drive-line outfits too.

It used to be hard to tell the difference between a Spicer and a Ford U joint
The color of the cap seals was the only difference IMO
