Best u-joint source?
Hello,
I'm the proud new owner of a 1982 XJ6. Amazingly I purchased this Jag not running and, after an ignition switch repair, I'm now driving this all-original 82 daily. Ok, it's only two days but still! I have what appears to be an early failure stage u-joint on the outer passenger side. What brand is your recommendation for this part? Best source? Thanks in advance! |
I like Dana-Spicer UJs when I can find 'em....but usually I have to order them. Nobody in my areas carries them on the shelf.....at least not under the "Dana-Spicer" label.
I've also had perfectly good results with whatever NAPA sells. Cheers DD |
Hey Jig Jag...
I may have a few on hand... And if not, I have a ton of other stuff for your car... Best part, I'm only about 30 miles North of Charlotte (near Concord)... Check out my site, or give me a call sometime... (704-796-9902).. I'd be glad to talk to you about your XJ... Cheers David shop.everydayxj.com |

For Spicer U-Joints, I used these folks for my '77 XJ12L u-joints. I went with "no zerks". U-joints without zerks are stronger. Spicer u-joints are pre-grease with a new synthetic grease. Instructions indicate - do not add grease. Grease does not get sprayed out of the u-joints from over greasing. |

I'm glad to see there's a Jag parts source so close by! I definitely want to come by and check out your operation. I think the U will hold out for a trip up to Concord. In the meantime I'll give you a call. I'd love a chat with someone more knowledgeable! let me know if you have one available! I'd rather not source from NAPA unless necessary. Thanks so much! Paul |
Hello,
I have to replace the u-joints on my series 1 jag too. Do someone know which type of Dana-Spicer I need? Or maybe the type of GKN joints? Greetz Tom From the Netherlands |
