This was a Spicer u-joint with only about 15 or 20,000 miles on it.
CJ428CJ, I too would like to know the story behind that failure....Please share!


I never thought about it before, but there is a correct and incorrect way to install a u-joint. It does make sense to put the hole in compression.

Could incorrect orientation be the cause of some failures?
