well last summer i did a full front end build....did u-joints, axle seals, bearings all the fun stuff....


Well ive done some good off-roading since then, but only 2-3 of the times ive been have i really had to hammer on it.....

So i went out for my weekly fluid inspection for the truck.....i was checking the front diff, and i looked at the u-joint, and it looked crooked.....moved the yokes, and it had alot of play in it....checked the other side....same thing, lots of play.....but the thing is, i dont have any squeeks or clunks....so if i would have went off-roading like i was planning today, it could have been disaster.

All in all these U-joints are 8 months old, and they literally have about 6K miles on them...and they are blown...So DONt buy any autozone u-joints, or you'll be replacing them soon......get Moogs...i have warentee on these u-joints but screw that, they are JUNK.

 

MOOG ujoint's ? And my advice would be don't buy ANYTHING Autozone/ Duracrap.

 

AutoZone is for buying light bulbs and car wash, not car parts. I wouldnt think that anything Moog is better either. Although TheBigRedOne will argue it to hell and back, most of their stuff is crap anymore.

 

i haven't seen the moog u-joints, but Precision brand Super-Strengths are exactly that.

 

Yea, the Precisions are Federal Mogul too. So I thought the MOOGS were no longer made.

 

Anything with Duralast badge on it, I wouldn't put it on my car nor recommend to my Customer.
Moog is not bad, Most of the time i see them last Just as long as OEM parts.

But I have to say, Autozone have the Biggest inventory compare to other Part store, especially hard to find parts aftermarket.

 

yeah you all are over looking the almost in-destructible. SPICER i put them on my cherokee that i blow out two in a row(cheap crap). threw in the spicers and the axle could walk all day long. never had a problem in 20k I retired it at 199k.(had three other vehicles.)tough as a tank. only **** i trust to my lead foot.

 

Now the $15 question is, where do you get the Spicers?

 

I get them at a drive shaft shop near me. Everyone knows they are good, problem is they are not easy to get like other brands.

 

internet...

i think these are the right one's for our trucks, however - they are non-greasable. the Precision greaseables are the same big heavy body.
