Well found out my 2 month old non greasable U-joint are toast again.
Probably from mud and water and such. Plus I've busted the D30 joints twice last year.
What are guys running thats the strongest most reliable cause this time I'm staying away from the parts stores on this one.

I've looked around the net and really not to sure what to go with.

 

maybe pick up some shafts from a 97 or newwer or one with abs. has larger u-joint %30 stronger

see the size difference?

 

Good suggestion. But I've already got shafts from a 98.

 

I have had good luck with spicer's....little pricy but worth it

 

I really don't care about price at this point lol

 

Definitely spicer on all u joints. Axleshafts spicer 760 s

 

these...

Now those are some sexy looking U-joints.
Wonder why I never found those? oh well as soon as funds are free I'll order up 8 of those.
Hmmm so that comes out to $360
I guess thats better than breaking store brands in the middle of no wear.

 

I'm a little confused, why do you need to get eight u-joints for your front axle.

 

naw naw.. 3 on rear shaft 3 on front 2 d30

 

Oh, sorry my drive shaft joints are 1310s.

 

u joints shouldn't go that fast. Are you sure your not loosing roller bearings when you install them? Or could you have a bent lobe, it just is not normal. Spicer u joints are sold at advanced by the way.

 

Na I'm very careful with the rollers.. I add a little extra grease to hold them in during installation. Plus I've been using solid joints figuring I'd get extra strength.
So no greasing them up.
This is my DD and I've played in a lot of mud and water which is a bearings worst enemy.

 

Are you sure advanced auto parts sells spicer u joints I have not seen them on their website.

 

i would start using greaseable....the difference in strength is minimal. but, youll be able to grease them after mud and water adventures. so they should last longer
