99 TA Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Where is the best shop to get a new u-joint put on my driveshaft? I don't want to just take it to anyone because I want it done right and not half-ass. Thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRN96WS6 Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 Columbus Joint and Clutch did mine on my old stock steely, and I had no problems with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted May 29, 2003 Report Share Posted May 29, 2003 The Napa machine shop off of 104 had done a couple U-joints for me. Good prices (like $6 to install the U-joint), quick turn around, etc. That said, I know why you need a new U-joint (probably a Spicer 447X). You also have an LS1 driveshaft. You may want to heed my warning, since I've snapped an LS1 DS right in the center, and sell it now while it is still in good shape. Use that money towards another DS. I really like my Spohn steel DS; 1350 joints front/rear, very solid construction, I believe they slightly shorten them for 12-bolt applications (which is something a lot of people suggest doing), painted, and very well balanced. I'd say it is probably better balanced than my LS1 shaft was, which wasn't bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
