Default Dana 30 u joints.

Hey guys and gals I've just determined my axle u joints are bad on my Dana 30

Symptoms are

Wheel wobbling unless I constantly lube my u joints,

Clunking every time I turn at slow speeds stop etc. and I can see some play on drivers side one.


ANYWAYS! My question is what brand is a decent quality brand that I'm not going to loose my wallet buying??? Thanks!!!!

Auto Zone will have Spicer, Advance will have Brute Force.

Maybe $15-$20.

A piece.

Mine were $17 i think, but it was awhile ago so I may be mistaken. It won't be more than $20.
