Going rate for u-joint for dana 60?

Tankota · Mar 14, 2007

One of mine is binding up a bit on my tow rig ('97 PSD) so I check the napa website and they are $56:wtf:

Its just a 1480 series u-joint...didn't think they'd be that expensive. ANyone got any better sources for the front axle u-joints for a 60?

try 6 states my u-joint for a 10 bolt was only 20 so a 60 shouldnt be almost 3x that

Thanks. I'll head over there now (via web

).

EDIT: I see there is one in pasco and none in western wa...DOH!

Apparently portland oregon has six of the joints (insert cheech or chong comment here) but no price is listed on line and of course they are closed. DOH DOH

Call billy bobs and talk to bob, tell him I sent you, he will take care of you.

Thanks Odie. I'll try to avoid that other dude...fullofsomething

Just kidding fully!:flipoff:

Seriously, I'd figure $25 bucks for that joint...not $56.99!

Someone else mentioned recently they had to use a 12 ton press to get their old joints out...hope that doesn't happen to me.:booo:

I'd use the new spicers...you can get them through Napa or Randy's

I guess there's a couple types of joints out there. This thing only sees 4x4 when towing up to evans in the snow or driving to work in the snow. I'd prefer low/zero maintenance on the joint if possible. Got a recommendation (PN) for a joint that meets that "requirement"?

I was looking at a SPL55-4x

randy's part number for the spicer 60 joint.

DAN5-806X

No zerks, it's the new snap-lock cap design.

I run these in the front of my Jeep and they seem to last

That's probably the one I'll end up with...well local parts store has the precision ones for $45.49.

I found the SKF version for $24 but it is external lockout not internal like my axles require

Maybe I'll just lock in the hubs and drive around for a while in 2x to "free" them up a little
