The Autozone Neapco U's are about $14, slightly better priced than the Rock Auto Precisions. I may just go with the precision 617 centering kit rather than trying to hunt down a Neapco.

But Auto Zone's are not Precision U-Joints either, they are hard to beat.

Neapco beats them. If for anything else the zerk fitting on the end cap. I've laid the Neapco and Spicer u-joints side by side and they are virtually indenticle.

while you guys are debating....


i will say that i run my truck harder than most of the guys i know and i have been very pleased with the precision u-joints and centering kit.

they are much stronger than stock and strong enough for most folks that use their vehicle as a daily driver and as a frequent offroader.

got mine from rock auto. as a reminder, get a couple of spares (especially if you do the rebuild yourself).
