u-joint questions

[tybardy]

Have a little extra money...

How much should I spend on u-joints? Anyone have a good brand/model number?

I would recommend Spicer u-joints.. All 4 look to be the same # 5-3147

+1 on the Dana Spicer U-joints. I ran them in almost everything I owned

what would be the difference if say I got some cheaper ones besides durability?

I spoke with a dude at the The U-Joint store and he told me that the neapco is the same quality as the spicer IF I get the greasble... he said if I did NOT get a greasable u-joint then I should get the Spicer....

would you guys agree?

 

[tybardy]

what tools will I need to replace all four u-joints?

 

[blueflamed03]

a press would be helpful, and a vise.

 

[dwmmatt23]

yea its time for mine as well, and @$16 a piece those spicers are the way to go

 

[tybardy]

blueflamed... you mean a VICE VICE... or vice grips??

I mean, I have a vice, but its a heavy peice of shit and it is bolted to my work bench. Not something that is super portable!

you only need 2 of those right, and im thinking he means vice vice to hold the shaft while you press the u joints in
