If napas are spicer why are napas less money ?

 

?

 

Its a Lunch box locker ...

 

At my Napa they are the same price and depending on which joint, the Napa joints are more.

 

Hey, Cape Coral! I'm in Ft myers..

Anywho, I would go to U-pull and grab a couple shafts.. yeah, they're used, but a solid shaft isnt going to wear out. then order yourself some 760x joints, grind the ears down so you can run the full-circle clips, and then never worry about it again.

 

If you're just using it as a daily driver I have 2 of the little dummy splines off of a 2WD XJ that take the place of the 2 front axle shafts.

 

replaced my axle shafts with CV Joints from Advance auto, a year ago with no problems. I dont clime rocks just sandy beaches so I did not need the spicer u-joints. The CV's work great for me and drive much better than the U-joint shafts no pulsing in the steering wheel. I think they were about 60 bucks each.

 

really? what year and model shafts did you get?

anyone know what the strength difference is?

 

i'm actually in Ft. Myers as well. for now. i live right by the twins stadium. Tan cherokee with a Surco rack.

 

haha. thanks but i actually have a set of those as well and was thinking about using them. i actually daily drive my motorcycle for the most part. i really only use my Jeep when i go pick my son up. the jeep has been broken for 2 weeks now but i usually borrow a car to get get my son. i went into work this morning at 6:30 and tore the whole thing down, pulled the Spartan locker out and reassembled everything by 8:30. she drives great. no more embarrassing popping and banging from my front diff when i pull into my sons daycare to pick him up either.

 

Can ya supply part numbers to show my local napa guys ?

 

Every Napa store carries them, I believe they are the grease able super strength joints that are Napa brand.

 

What I got was what they had there were deff were not super nothing...

 

Haven't seen it, but I'll keep my eye out for it.

I just measured my old shafts and matched up at the JY. Agreed, they are much quieter and smoother. I've beat on them a little bit in the recent week playing in the snow, and being "stuck" in 4-full at the moment, I've only been on dry pavement 1 day and they are much more forgiving.
