I use the non greasable 1's and they last twice as long! I can almost get a year out of them! ;D ;D ;D<br>

Do you bust up genuine Spicer joints like this as well? I have never broken a u-joint myself, but I have installed hundreds and have seen the difference in quality from varying brands.

I had to replace everything! Thats why I upgraded to 297 size joints and now I can get about a year out of them. Now that you got me thinking about it the first one I actually sheared right in two was a dana spicer. I cought some air and came down under full throttle (To sofen the landing) and heard a loud pop! I wish I had a digital camera cuz that joint looked like someone cut in half with a hack saw!

Broke the little factory one back in November. Looked inside the cap and saw where the needle bearings were brinelling the cap.<br><br>Used the new plasma cutter to cut the yoke ears off to pull it out of the housing.<br><br>Full lock, in reverse, on solid rock, spinning tires as the rear bumper was against bedrock.
