Default D30 u joints

Hey everyone I have to do my u joints I did them like 3 years ago and put on "off road" ones. I'm not happy about them breaking all ready. Have any of u tried the heavy duty Dana Spicer ones? They are reasonably priced but I don't know if they are worth it. If not, what are you using how long have they lasted and how much did you pay?

i have some autozone ones that are greasable and they hold up fine. grease regularly and more often if you run through water often.

Can you send me a link to the greaseable ones? I can't seem to find them

Or if you could give me a part number that would be very helpful

hey chick, i have an account at the jobber and can get parts at garage rates plus 10%. (almost half of msrp)
i can look into the costs of any or all that you are interested in, as long as they are available by the supplier.

but you'd have to come to guelph to get em...

Hey again. It appears that I didn't get Spicer. I got Precision from NAPA. These are also made in the U.S.A.
