U Joint

I need to replace the U-Joints on my 02 Camaro and wanted to know of a good quality U joint for a decnt price. My car is stalled with a drag radial. So I want to get one that will hold up to the stress.

Don't ever use a U joint with a grease fitting in a performance car.

Precision 234 I think is the one I went with. Its the solid non-grease-able type.

How come? Don't take this the wrong way. I'm not looking to argue, just here to learn.

Weaker. More open space on the inside for the grease fitting, and the storage of the grease. Just overall weaker.
