Okay turns out i do need new u joints and have to decide which ones to buy. I was told to get the spicers made by dana but i dont know where to get them.

My other options are:
Lakewood- performance u-joints
Lakewoods performance universal joints feature high strength chrome-nickle-moly alloy cross and caps for improved fatigue resistance. The needle bearings are made from a special high carbon steel and induction heat treated to maximize wear resistance. For the ultimate in strength lakewood universal joints are not cross drilled and can not be externally greased

OR
TCI
-Solid body design forged material construction and eliminated grease fitting to reduce structural breakage in body
-Pre grease sealed unit pre packed with synthetic lithium grease teflon coated outer seals reduces seal failure and leakage unlike rubber designs
-bearing surfaces ground and finished allow joint to run true and to ensure accurate fit to yoke

My other options are i have access to u joints made by SKF for a really cheap price that are greasable.

Or i could go out of my way to find the spicers by dana. What do you think is my best bet i dont want these to crap out on me.

 

i know its a long post but could someone please read it and point me in the right direction i need to buy them tommorow.

 

HELP ME!!!

 

Hey there Doug. I was looking for the Spicers too but I didn't find them locally. I just bought lifetime quaranteed joints at Advance Auto. Unless you're car is snapping them regularly, I wouldn't drop a bundle on them. The ones I bought are solid, lifetime replacements and ran me about $11 each.


Good luck!!

yeah i finally decided on getting the lakewood ones. Theyre running me about 50 bucks a pop but thats canadian so about 30 american. I decided to go with some pretty descent ones because i like to drive my car really hard. While my cars been off the road ive been driving my step dads 92 saab 9000 and i think the joints might be going in that car now because i have been driving the hell out of it =). I figured go for some descent ones because id rather spend more once then less 5 times and have to deal with the hassel
