My factory ones began failing at 75K once the grease burned up. For drivers that don't race or do clutch drops I recommend the greaseable ones if you actually plan on keeping the car that long and greasing them every once in a long while.
Also, is there a better option than the spicers with the plastic seals? I cracked one on install, and thinking that one won't keep it's grease as long.

thanks, I plan on going with the greasable ones, I just have to call around, for some reason the shop that I go to for other stuff said they don't do the half shafts for some reason. thanks for the replies.

Any decent shop should be able to install them for you. Be sure to get the spicers without the grease fitting! No napa stuff, only spicer. The others are fall weaker. I tried to save some pennies a while back and snapped them right in 1/2. Of course maybe my application is a little more brutal on these parts - but the spicers are not much more.
Hope that helps!

I may have found u-joints for you at PRI, NO needle bearings!
Give me a call next week,

Here's a pair of over-the-counter, non-spicer, 4 year old u-joints. Stock car, no racing. Buy a set from Napa and they'll be stamped made in China. Needless to say, I replaced them with Spicers.
