slip yoke and u joint question

I am in need of a new slip yoke and some U joints.
What are the strongest U joints available?

Also, I need a slip yoke for my BW 1356. Any idea on where to get one?

Thanks

Chris

CTM makes the strongest u-joints. Do a google search. You asked.

I would get one from the junkyard. I wouldn't trust the aftermarket for that part, and the dealer will make the CTM u-joints look cheap.

<i>CTM makes the strongest u-joints. Do a google search. You asked.</i> LOL!!! 320 for the 60 series! Yea thats some u-joint for sure though.

camccardell,

Just use Dana Spicer u-joints and not them discount auto store cheapies. That is if you don't want to be replacing them every 3 months........or every time you use em.

Spicer non greasables! These are most of the OEM u joints for Ford, Chevy, and Dodge. Seem to last forever.

You will have to get spicer from a local parts store, not big chain, or from like Rockauto.com
