You joints

I wouldn't say they are special. They didn't used to be anyway.
But today, I would be leery of the usual generic made from recycled beercan scheisse that seems to be the case for so many parts these days. Wheel bearings for example. Don't get me wrong, many other countries can and do make quality bearings. These same countries also sell complete trash bearings, for a price. I wouldn't trust em. Were it me, I'd buy NOS motorcraft U-joints or NORS spicer or whatever. They won't cost much more. Maybe even cheaper, and you know they are made of good stuff.
