U Joints - Moog or SKF?
I have my two piece drive shaft torn down for clean up, paint and rebuild. I'm torn between SKF non-greaseable and Moog greaseable U joints.
I've used both makers for bearings and suspension parts so I know they both make good stuff but on this I don't have any level of experience. Anyone got a preference? Just installed new trailing arm bushings and a set of McGaughy four inch drop progressive springs with new retainers. Got a shock relocation kit as well but gotta get the rear diff and drive shaft all fixed up before re-install.

Re: U Joints - Moog or SKF?
I prefer greasable joints....I'd go moog
When I had my driveshafts shortened I requested greasable....

I’d go with spicer premium universal joints without grease fittings.
Moog has a good warranty, but you will be using it. Every 3-4 years you’ll be replacing them again. |

Re: U Joints - Moog or SKF?
I would also go for the Spicer joints.....depending on usage (non greasable for the drags), but I prefer greasable for the street. Longhorn

Sun Soaked,
I smell the sarcasm here. Miss type on my part: two piece drive shaft. When I was typing the original message I was counting u joints in my head I guess.

Re: U Joints - Moog or SKF?
Thanks guys. No drag racing here with a tired 283! I'll order greaseable units and get the shaft ready for rebuild while they are on the way.
