 | Yep, Spicer Dana U joints are great. Also agree, factory U joints last a very very long time, EXCEPT in a Ford. Used to be Very common to see a Ford on the side of the road with a driveshaft laying on the ground, obvioulsy improved now, since not as common. As far as install, I always used a bench vise and an appropriate sized sockets to install U joints. Larger socket to be able to press the cup out, and smaller socket to press the cup in. I remember when to get a factory U Joint out, you had to heat it with a torch til you heard the pop noise to break the keeper, then you used the new spring type keeper for the replacement U Joint. |
