Topic: best driveshaft joints to buy?

[Fearofrunner]

agreed...... I have OEM in my high angle driveline as well.... 

I am curious about the Precision Gear joints. I would never run anything but Precision gear ring and pinions in my diffs but i didnt know they made joints. Anyone know anything else about these?

Don't quote me on this but i'm about 95% sure he said precision joints

Napa use to sell good quality GMB Japanese u-joints, that's as close to OEM with a better price your gonna get.  The guy at napa the other day told me they switched to precision gear u-joints.

This what I bought 4-5 years ago. Didn't know they switched or that Precision Gear made u-joints

The consensus is that PRECISION GEAR does NOT make u-joints.....

a company called PRECISION u-joints DOES...I have never heard of them

that is backwards.  we used to sell Spicer and Precision.  NAPA no longer deals with DANA Corp, and switched to GMB (which are NOT a good ujoint...they are soft), and now we are back to precision, with GMB Joints being the value line.
