u-joints from Autozone problems (1 Viewer)

[JOSHCRUZER]

I am replacing all of my u-joints. I purchased 4 from autozone, I am having problems getting them to seat properly. They seem a little too large or something. After installing the first spring clip, I can't get the joint down far enought to install the second spring clip without putting too much pressure on the first spring clip. We even used a press. Has anyone else had this problem? Mabey I just return em...

Yes, seems to be it never works out trying to save a few bucks. They want like 60.00 each for OEM.

there is a significant difference between stock U joints and autozone units. I am all for saving money but stock is absolutely best in this situation..

the U-Joints from NAPA are closer to OEM than others they have the larger bearings like OEM and will fit your driveshaft better, I have bought others from Autozone-carquest etc they are trash. I would go there if cash is the issue.

Third from the bottom, $30 each. Not sure what is OEM (Koyo make U-Joints?), but these are Japanese atleast.

looks like I should have posted up on autozone u-joint prior to purchasing them. I'm taken em back tomorrow. Thanks for all the input.
