Driveshaft U-Joints

So while I have the axles out of the jeep I decided it would be a good idea to replace the ujoints in the driveshafts. My question is does anybody use the Spicer Non-greasable ujoints? For me I think the non greasable would be much simpler even if I need to replace them every couple years. Also, can somebody point me in the direction of a site that sells em? All I can find are the standard 153x joints with the grease zirk in the cross or in the cap. Thanks guys,

Andy

Yes, Spicer's latest series of triple-sealed 1310 u-joints are the way to go. I replaced my PITA-to-grease greasable u-joints that Tom Wood installed with them and I'm real happy with them. I bought mine from a local driveshaft shop.

Thanks Jerry, I thought that would be the case since it isn't all that fun to crawl under there and grease 5 ujoints every couple thousand miles. Any idea what they set you back? I would assume they are not much more than the greasable ones but who knows.

I think I paid $16 apiece.
