    Absolutely this! You will change u-joints far less often than the other brands.


    They will work for a while, maybe

    FYI the
    $32 5-1330-1X U-Joint Kit
    5-1330-1X is the exact u joint used in the rear shafts from toyota on shafts that have a zerk from the factory.

    Replaced my center joint when i did a CB mod just cus i was already halfway there and the joint was all of like 20 bucks. Key is to keep them joints lubed. My 3 rear shafts get ~8-10 pumps of grease every 5k miles when I do my oil. Front shaft gets the same treatment every other oil change.

    I didn't say they wouldn't work, I've used them, as well as Federal.. Neither are as good as Spicer, could be the poorer quality control.
