U-Joint and Ball-Joint question
Who makes the best U-Joint, Ball-Joints, and unit bearings for stock TJ application? I need U-Joints that you can be used on the highway, so no CTM style ones.

Why wouldn't you want to use the CMT u-joints on the highway?

Everyone has told me that they will burn up if you use them for highway driving.

Sounds like a case of "free advice". I've not heard anything like this. There is no mention of a problem with highway use on their web site and I would think there would be if it was truely a problem. If I'm going to produce a product with a life time warranty I think I might discourage the user from doing things with my product that will cause it to fail.

If U-joints are your game, then Spicer is your name.

From what I have researched they are not rated for speeds over 40 mph because they do not use needle bearings in them. They are intended for off-road use only.
