Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Universal joints ? Sealed or grease able ?

tikkanut;
Good afternoon to you sir, I hope the weekend has been a good one for you and you're well.

Thanks for the interesting thread and thanks to those who've responded.

When I was chatting about this to the mechanic I take our '03 Dodge to for stuff I don't want to mangle myself, he said he's now gone entirely to sealed UJoints because he's found they last longer.

The other thing he mentioned was that most people have good intentions when installing greaseable ones - myself among those folks with the best intentions of course - but that in reality they/I didn't grease them often enough.

He agreed with your video chap too in that they don't seal good enough in slush and salt winter conditions, but the sealed ones he gets do.

For the life of me I can't recall which brand he prefers, but they weren't inexpensive for sure. That said, his shop rates aren't free either, so as he says it's cheaper to put in better parts and have my rig up on his hoist less.....

He's a painfully honest man, my mechanic...

All the best in the upcoming week tikkanut.
