U-Joint question

I was just one a post and had a thought. Scarry huh ?

In you opinions, what are the best type of u-joints to put back in my rear shaft ? Last time, I put the greasable type in but was wondering if the other type is better ?

Thanks for the input. I know other's will also benefit.

Happy Holidays to All !

I've heard that the sealed bearings are stronger than the greasable ones, but I'm not sure how much truth there is to that.

Use Spicer--I haven't broke one yet but all I have is 33" Buckshots and a rear locker and a few other goodies. The ones w/o the grease fittings are stronger but mine have the fittings.

That's the name. Spicer. I used them years ago and they were a great product. I get a set sometime this winter.

Thanks for the advice,

U-Joint question

I will have to vote for the ones without the grease zerk fittings....

they are a bit stronger due to the lack of diminished structure
that the zerk fitting would otherwise eliminate....

the front double u joint fitting was a royal paint to remove.....

I'm glad that is over!!!!
