i replaced a U-Joint on my left front axle shaft, thank god for the heavy duty bearing press we have in the shop, popped the mother ****er right out, no hammer required

 

Really, does that same faulty logic apply to tie-rod ends and ball joints with zerk fittings? Regular lubrication will extend the service life of your parts. Never worked on cars much, have you?

If you think a Tie-rod end or Ball joint is the same as a u-joint, Then no, I never worked on your kinda [B]cars[B] before. A zerk u-joint is hollow, a non zerk isn't, it's solid through out. Truck U-joints see more torque than a car. If you treat your truck like a car and use it like a car, then you will be using different quality parts. I guess it's servicability vs durability.

 

I worked at Dana Spicer but just got laid off and they will be located in Mexico by 2011 most deffinately.

 

Awesome! So you get the swine flu free with every purchase , lol. I can see the directions now, Warning, use safety eye wear,gloves and a mask when installing this product.

 

Seriously, where do you get your information? The sealed joints aren't "solid". They're packed with grease, genius, and aren't fitted with a zerk fitting. U-joints, ball joints, and tie-rods ends all require lubrication, or didn't you know that's how they operate? Judging by your ignorance, you don't know that. Without grease, those parts fail, but by your logic, the non-serviceable parts will last forever. Again You don't know what you're talking about and should STFU.

 

Damn bud, who **** in your cereal? Thought it was a U-joint thread, not a pissin contest....

 

here we go again...
