i spit a cap off a u-joint last weekend, no problem just threw in my spare set of shafts. so now i needed to replace the joint on those to have another full set for a spare. i went to every parts store in town and no one carried spicer u-joints. i wound up getting a precision joint from o'reillys. it looks beefy but i'm a bit skeptic to use it. anyone have any info or experience with these. thanks

one other question. where can i get spicer u-joints.

otherwise www.fullsizexjgear.com has them pretty cheap

I work for a NAPA parts store and we recently received a letter about Dana selling their aftermarket divisions to Affinia. The only division they kept was spicer and they are no longer available through there brake and chassis division NAPA no longer carries Spicer due to this fact effective March 1 2005.
It sucks but thats big business.
