Re: Now that Spring's here ... u-joint
You can get the 'super strength' greasable lifetime guaranteed u-joints at
NAPA.... last time I looked they were something like $20

Re: Now that Spring's here ... u-joint
Those 'are' the suckers! The expensive ones. One arm empty of needles
and the other there 'totally' devoid of any grease. I hope their
warranty is as good as CT's. I took back about 6 to CT and got a store
credit. Steve was by and we made sure all the rest I replaced with zerk
ones have grease. They all seem to be holding in.
