Default 1350 joints

Is there really much difference between brands ?

Ive swapped a few shafts etc, so have quite a collection of joints now. Would it be worth me swapping the best joints I have, into the shaft Im currently using, or will the cheapy joints be fine ?

Cheap parts = bad results

Go with quality parts, we like the Spicer Ujoints

PST wouldn't even consider pressing in a non-quality u-joint when I got my carbon fiber driveshaft from them. Spicer was my brand of choice (non-greaseable).

I have a few different ones. No idea of make. Some have grease nipples, some dont.

I'll swap them all out in favour of the Mark Williams ones I have then. Im sure they will be good
