Spicer u joint part #
- Thread starter prolinews
- Start date
Neapco part number 2-3011. I think the precision PN is 534G
The part store that said they had them didn't when I got there. So I got the moog HD . Of course I think I had the only 88 k5 in America with the stock u joints in it. Had to melt that plastic nylon what ever it is out.
Sometimes those factory "injected" u-joints last over 100K--I think the ones in my pickup's rear shaft are still originals...
I hate taking that plastic stuff out before pressing out the u-joints--I had more arm burns from molten plastic squirting out of them when I heated the caps with a torch,when I worked at the parts store and had to replace many weekly for customers in the machine shop--
...it makes changing u-joints all the more unpleasant--like it isn't tough enough to assemble one and press in the cups without losing a needle,or having one end up lying in the bottom of the cap...yeah,lets make it so the mechanic needs gloves and three hands,so he can get better burns!..
...all to save 2 cents on a few clips and the 10 seconds to install one on the assembly line..
