spidertrax 40 spline with super joints 50 degree steering, 4400 car.
The caps pushed out after a few short miles. They burned the grease up, had high temp discoloration, and the caps took material off the cross.
So we put new joints and caps in, heavy yukon grease, tack welded the caps in 4 places.
One of the caps broke the welds and started spinning after a few miles again.
What could be going on to create high heat and spin welded caps off?
I raced on super joints for 3 years in a Dana 60 and never saw this.
