i think i am going to replace my u-joints on my formula. i have a little bit of vibration and am thinking one may be bad.

so far i am leaning towards Precision Super U joint. here is an excerpt from the description.

Precision Super U joint: $20

"Super strength universal joint. Abrasion resistant nitrate seals, microshield coating to prevent corrosion. Flush type lube fitting in end of bearing."

Lakewood also has a performance model: for $37

" high strength chrome-nickel-moly alloy cross and caps for improved fatigue resistance. The needle bearings are made from special high-carbon steel and induction heat-treated to maximize wear resistance."


which would you go for?
or is there a better brand?

i realize that i dont need the strongest as the stock 10 bolt is the the weak spot in the driveline, but i still want the strongest and longest lasting u joint.

Your solid joints will be the strongest.

now that youve replaced that you have to look for your weak link somewhere else.

that would be the 10 bolt. i will at least try to make that last for a while... lol.

just don't throw any $$$ into it, total waiste in the long run, my 2 cents.

I agree invest on a 9in. instead.

i definitely know that. i am keeping a little bit of backup $$$ for a 9" when the 10 bolt dies.
