Default What's a good U-Joint to get?

First of all, don't tell me to go search, since I already did and v bulletin told me there there were no results (even though I've seen the words everywhere on here). I even tried searching 'Dodge' and only three threads came up. Something's wrong. If the search works for you guys, please forward me some links..

Anyways, I'm pretty sure I have bad U-Joints on the rear driveshaft, what brands are good, and what ones should I stay away from? I'm talking mostly about what I can find at a regular automotive store like checker.

Thanks, Guys.

Precision is good, and the best you'll find at the local parts store. I use Dana, but get them online.

I bought the Dana spicer joints online even though I worked for a parts store (which stocked precision) at the time.

OP...since you're in Phoenix, Four wheelers supply (NOT 4 wheel parts!) down on Washington(?) carries spicer. It was tore up from the light rail so I don't remember the exact cross street. For some reason 32nd and Washington sticks out, but my memory is a bit hazy.

+3?+4? For Spicer. Definetly greaseable.

Spicer. That being said I have Precision ones as that's what a shop put in when I took it in for a strange noise. I wish they had used Spicer though.
