Is it worth the extra $20 for these new style non-greasable Spicer u-joints?
The reason why I say OEM is it looks close to OEM looks. No zerk, round center body thats concaved inwards. Its like looking at a 5-297X axle u-joint VS. 5-760X. Side by side you can see the casting in the new joint is made real well, almost looks like solid metal. The regular joint is skinnier and pitted to what seems like a weaker casting. My driveline guy says they're the way to go and all standard Spicer joint are no better than any Neapco style. He called them the K-Mart Brand for Spicer. Let me know...
