Don't use napas they don't hold up worth a poop they cost me 2 axles at once spicers preferred but moogs hold up also.

 

Don't use there ball joints either there ok for mall crawling but lasted less than a year on mine. Get moogs there life tine guarantee .

No one around here has Spicer joints. In going to have to put these supper strength joints in

 

Buy them on the internet and have them shipped to you.

 

Using them in my 98 XJ and loving it. So much quieter and smoother. It doesn't see a whole ton of off-road, however I did climb a nice mountain of snow the other day with no problem.

 

advanced carries moog take old ones in ,its not worth a set of axles ....I was not even beating on jeep just driving normal and they snapped.....

I was lightly wheeling mine when it snapped. I ended up ordering Spicer's off Amazon. It's all back together now. I took that damn Spartan locker out to. In going to sell it and use the money to buy a winch.

So in the future can I use grand Cherokee axles with a CV joint? They are like $100 with a lifetime warranty. I don't wheel hard and if they do break it's easy enough to just pull and replace a axle.

 

I've never had trouble with NAPA (Precision) joints.

 

Do you have a sandwich locker in your front end? Sandwich lockers are rough on the axle joints.

 

Don't see why not...when xjs first came out they had them...

 

Sandwich locker ..

 

Napa's u joints are Spicer... also a u joint will last much longer if you get graspable ones and actually grease them. I had a Duralast one in my driveshaft and kept it greased and last a few years before I sold that jeep.

 

I might buy a set next time I need to replace axle joints.... If ever again since I took the locker out. If I would have known I could use those I would have slapped a couple in and called it a day.
