Here's my choices...I believe both are good, but one is servicable and the other is not...

Spicer 5-760X

Alloy USA X-Joint

Both are 39.99 ea.

I was going to go Spicer until I saw the Alloy USA ones and have heard they make good stuff...

What do you think? Spicer means one less thing to hit with the grease gun?

Thx - Rob

I jam a needle bearing everytime I monkey with u-joints so I am going to switch just to avoid having to disassemble everything after every mud puddle

Not sure what you mean...is that a vote for either one of these?

Ordered Spicers. Thanks for the Ebay link. Cost me half as much as I thought it would!
