Looking for a quality u-joint, not Chinese junk. Are the Moog HMG235 U-joints any good? If not, what else is out there? How about the ones sold at NAPA?
 
I have used Precision U joints. From what I remember they were USA made. Haven't purchased any since about 2007 so who knows if they are still made here. Anyway they were a nice piece. Put them in both driveshafts of my 95 k1500 that was used as a wood hauler in the winter. Lots of abuse never broke a u joint.
 
The Napa aka Precision U-Joints work really well....I've had the same U-Joint in my car for the past two years with no issues....
 
I use Napa as well..I have the conversion in the rear so Napa is about the only place that has them up here
 
Thats 3 votes for precision. I think you will be alright with them haha.
 
The ACDelco joints are actually made here :lol: 89029290 (greasable) at your local jobber or gm dealer (they still use the same joint in some of todays trucks) $18. Or you could pony up for the GM joint also USA made 12479126 (non greasable). ready?

$117.94 and that's cheaper than it used to be :rofl: .
 
Oldsmoletick, you sure those AC Delco's are US made? It's my understanding that all Delco stuff is now just China crap like everything else is. Of course they used to be a quality made in USA brand, but the good 'ol days are long gone thanks to the greed of corporate America.

I think I may pass on the $117 ones. :wink:

Seems the NAPA joints are a good way to go, but rest assured if there is one bad U-joint in a whole batch of 1000's made, that's going to be the one I get.....
 
Yup I'm sure, much of acd has gone overseas, but not all of it, there are still a few select things made here.

Yes that is the joint for the g body :wink: .
 
Maybe that U-joint was made in the USA under Chinese supervision. :lol:

Mr. Wang; No no no you stupid American! You being too precise! You make part too good! You make worse like this [shows an Autozone part].

American; But it won't fit right if we do it like that and even if it did it would'nt last more than a month.

Mr. Wang; We control world! You make part our way now!

American; 😢
