Which "U" Joints Should I Buy?
I will be replacing all six "U" joints and would like to know what the general concensus is. Do I use greaseable or standard joints? Thanks for your input.

Spicer non-greaseable u-joints. Non-greaseable are tougher.
www.tomsdifferentials.com sells cold-forged Spicer u-joints that are 20% stronger than stock.
