Re: [MBZ] Jeep u-joints
In that application I would say as long as they are a greasable joint the cheapo one should be just fine. You aren't running big tires or a locking differential in the front are you?

I opted for an AutoZone u-joint since I was also going to do use one of their 36 mm sockets to do the job. RR was pretty much what I expected. A big heavy hammer and sockets got it done.

Re: [MBZ] Jeep u-joints
Everything is factory. The new u-joint is non-greasable just like the factory originals.

Re: [MBZ] Jeep u-joints
It will ride much better without the front wheel flogging up and down as you drive! Easy replacement. Driveshafts are a bit more trouble, as they use a double u-joint so you have to replace two instead of one.

Re: [MBZ] Jeep u-joints
The vibration at 50 MPH is pretty much gone. :-) I'll know more next time I take it on a trip.
