Good on you for asking for Spicers. When I go to the local AutoZone or Kragen, or whatever, they want to sell unknown brands. Get quality parts. Get Spicers. PS: For U-Joints, I've been buying the solid Spicers. They don't have provision for re-greasing, but they're much more stronger. I think you can operate your solid U-joints for many years without regreasing.

If someone doesn't think that Spicers are a quality U-Joint -- please chime in!!!

U-joints are on page 21, Under Axle Shaft PT# HS-06 & 07. They are not Spicers though. I do carry solid Spicer joints and they are all heat treated joints.
