Anyone know where I could get some Spicer U-joints locally?
Napa doesn't carry them but they say their "Brute Force" u-joints are pretty much the same.
Is there any difference between the Spicer and BruteForce or are they just the same thing?
Any ideas guys?
Thanks for the help ;D

I just got some Brute Force U-joints today, I have used them in the past on farm equiptment and they seem jaust as good as a Spicer. They only come as a non greaseable though, if you want greaseable joints get the Spicer

I've used the brute force lots in stuff I don't wheel and they work fine. However the ONLY u-joint I use in the Jeep is the Spicer non-greasables with the snap tite seals. They have a plastic ring that the cups snap into to keep water out. I have yet to wear one out or break one. I even landed on my rear yoke once and snapped out the retaining blocks holding the yoke in. The u-joints survived except the caps came off and the needles got lost.
The BF joints maybe similar to the standard Spicer joint but are no where near as good as the snap tites.
