Anyone ever order anything stronger than stock U-Joints? I've had 2 Rockford u-joints break now..one on my car and the other on my buddy's V. We replaced them at the same time...mine broke a few weeks ago, his just broke today. Both broke in rear.

 

glad i decided to just go FWD and not use the rockford u joints....

 

LOL, I'd love to go FWD but would need to purchase and install an LSD. I hate driving FWD in the winter.

 

Im doing just that, getting a type R tranny.

 

How are you going to covert the type R tranny to cable? Or are you installing the shift linkage?

 

ill install the rods.

 

get some neapco u joints #1-0430, bring this to a drivingshaft place to lightly machine the yoke of the crv driveshaft to get them fit there, that's what I am using on my H23A CRV!

 

that looks a lot stronger.

 

I like Dana-Spicer (often just called Spicer) u-joints. Get the greaseable type (the "heavy duty" ones are solid, and non greaseable. If water/dirt gets in there, it's in there. The greaseable ones you can flush out dirt and any contaminants.

I forget who makes them for Napa brand, but they're good (a known supplier to auto companies), too. A lot of the chain-parts store (autozone, advance) use china "lowest bidder" ones. :/

 

I'm gonna do this in the summer. Already ordered 2 replacement U-Joints from www.theujointstore.com

 

i cant see the part number 1-0430 on that site?
