Axle U Joints

[Slow Six]

I was doing a quick service tonight to get ready for an urgent long trip when I found a sloppy front axle u joint. It is a Precision greasable and has not been in very long and has been greased regularly. It is not dry, just sloppy. Is there a better joint available? This truck is not used for serious off road travel so there has been very little stress on the joints. Any quick advice appreciated as I need to change it tomorrow.

I had problems with the Precision 464 not getting fully greased into the bearing cups through the zerk. Like you, mine were dead shortly after they were installed. I went back with the Mopar part numbers.



I have seen threads where Precision addressed a problem and new Precision joints perform much better - it was too late for mine though. Several cups on my Precisions were dry when we took them off.
