Do you mean the ones running Porsche CV joints or something else?
I have heard that U joints are actually able to take more punishment than CV
but don't have any knowledge in that area. The joint failed in the yoke area and looked like it had been cracked for some time. I was thinking that getting new parts and deburring them along with a cryogenic treatment might be enough since I haven't broken one in years. Titanium would be nice for rotating inertia but might have some durability issues with welding or heat treatment.
