I stumbled upon NEAPCO Inc brand u joints when I had my drive shaft
shortened. The company does a lot of truck stuff and that is what they sold.
The yolks are considerably more robust than any thing I had previously used
and they are made in the USA. I did an internet search on NEAPCO stuff and
saw that brand was sold at AutoZone (local discount chain). They did not
stock ones for the TR6 but were able to order them for me, I think it was
about $18 each. The only problem I had was at some point in time NEAPCO
did an improvement and moved the grease fitting from the yolk to the cap.
There are not enough clearances in the TR for the cap version so I just put
a plug there and just swap out a grease fitting when I want to grease. I
know size does not matter but if it did then these must be good stuff:-)
Oh, part number for the TR6 u joint is 1-0005
