As the title states Im looking to upgrade my u joints and was wondering who makes the best and most durable. I hear alot of people run the precision ones, havent heard anything bad but I want to here feedback on some.
Thanks!

I guess I should also add that Im talking about the front U joints

no rdplz

axle or driveshaft? Either way, I replaced the stock ones with ones from spicer.

Same here. Either way.... axel or driveshaft go with Spicer.

Outlaw Star

^^^ Spicer is a good choice.

CTMs or Super Joints - best thing I ever bought for my Jeep...

Or if you'd rather pay 50 instead of 400 then you should go with Spicer 760s.

yeah Im talking about the axle ones, I have an opportunity to get chromolly shafts with upgraded u joints I believe they are precision joints...what are your opinions on that?

Note, my front u joints are pretty much gone

Duralast Gold for my Axle shafts...couldnt afford spicer so I got something with lifetime warrantee. They seemed pretty heavy duty for my front Axle Shafts and were bigger then the originals so I'm satisfied. Haven't wheel'd it yet thought but have been itching to for awhile now.

THIS is what YOU need!

AlloyUSA Alloy X joints in my front D44.

be careful. Ive seen those break in some real silly situations.

the lifetime warranty wont get you off the trail and wont cover the ears sheared off the axle shafts or broken ball joints.

i only run spicers with full circle clips.

I bought some alloy usa joints and snapped them pretty quick so I went back with spicer. I've got them in my chromos with full circle clips and they work great. And they can be found for under 25 bucks.

Well that makes me feel good....I would have gone and gotten some spicers If I could have but Autoblown was right across the street and the local clutch, joint and driveline shop was about half an hour away and the jeep was on jackstands in the parking lot. Its stock for now...hope nothing happens when I do take it wheeling.

I tried OEM replacements, and a few lesser known brands on my front DS, and broke them all. I paid a little extra for the right Spicer, and i have tourqued the crap out of hit, several times, (mud, rocks and trails)and it still looks new. So I am going to have to agree with the above, and say Spicer is the way to go!

exactly. I had been using precision 1310 joints and they would wear out in days. just put a spicer 5-1310 in and its been great.
And I can buy them through my work as we are a spicer dealer.
