Anyone using NAPCO U-Joints?

I am coming to US tomorrow and was thinking of picking up drive shaft and half shaft U-joints. Advance Auto Parts carries Napco brands only. Anyone using these parts? Is the quality good? It's not made in overseas crap, is it? I think I will go with the non-greaseable ones. Price is good at $10 for greaseable and 15 for non-greaseable.

Opinions needed please .... by midnight tonite

They've got a good rep on the 4x4 forums, second only to Spicer. I'm running the Brute force and can't complain. The sideyoke sheared first...

That looks scary...

By the way, I think they are Neapco...

I think I will pick them up tomorrow.

US $15, Canadian $46 +15% tax...

I could maintain 3 Vettes if I continue shopping in US

Yeah - they're OK. I used the brute force in my half-shafts (HD Neapco).
Are they made in the US ? I don't think so, but good quality.
If I could buy Spicers locally, I would.

Thanks for the info guys.

I picked up all 6 Brute Force ones today. After I told the manager that I drove 4 1/2 hours to pickup these parts...he knocked off another 10% off the price.

Customs did not charge any taxes either...they were too busy with a group of hippies...

I will be going back to the same store (Advance Auto Parts in Warren, MI) next time I visit GM.
