I just bought some Brute Force Performance U-Joints from Advance Auto Parts. Just wondering if anybody has used these and what do you think about them.

 

i have had friends who used those joints. both good and bad comments about them. the good comments were that they acted like u joints should. the bad comments i heard is that a few friends said they felt ****ty once put on. just not as smooth as they should. people have always told me to use NAPA u joints over advanced when every possible.

 

Well thats depressing to fine out.

 

well no. im not saying they are terrible. put them in, and before you install the drive shaft back in the jeep, or where ever. Just feel it out. rotate and feel the joints. not all of my friends said they werent good. one of the friends installed them, didnt like them and went and returned them after they were installed. he just told them they were **** and they allowed a return. but you still might have luck with them.

 

I have one driveshaft done and it feel real smooth.

 

well then i wouldnt worry about it. im sure they were just being picky. like i said not everyone said bad things about them.

 

I had the Brute Force joints... I didn't like the fact they couldn't be greased.

 

I plan on installing non-greasable ones in the axles but not the drive shafts..

 

Now im beginning to regret getting these

 

Eh take em back...Tell they won't work... Then get some greasable ones..If ya can get em with the grease fitting in the cap not the cross..

 

eh. I already installed them. I will wait till these go out to buy new ones.

 

Tried 'em, they didn't last one wheeling season. I use nothing but Spicer Joints now.

 

now im regretting making this post.

 

eh don't worry just use em..I am going to use Precision till I get a job then I'll switch over to the nice spicers..Spicers would cost me about $30 a piece..Precision about $15...so I can deal with it..

 

$30 a piece!! jeebus! I think the most I ever paid for one was $18...and I was pissed! Average $11-15 around here.
