More points of contact? Yes. But the contact surface area is a lot smaller than in a regular Ujoint. The only real advantage a CV joint has over a Ujoint is smoother operation at extreme angles.

A design as simple as the freaking U-Joint probably doesn't need much extra protection than a little grease... Better put Rustoleum on your hubcaps too...

no I dont have abs. If the shafts were 6" too long they gave you the wrong ones some how. There are no different width dana 30's that came in cherokees/grand cherokees. We have had to run to the parts store to get them before to get a jeep off the trail
