Reply to "Spicer half shafts"

IMHO, there is nothing wrong with OEM halfshafts. Spicer halfshafts were created solely because factory u-joints are an odd size and were priced (for a while) at over $70 each- $500 for all 4. OEMs were also prone to breaking without warning, freeing the halfshaft to flail around like a 20-lb war-club. Normally, the ZF case cracked open like a walnut, or you lost your inner fender panel and rear brake hose.... Nowadays, good aftermarket replacement u-joints have been found for OEM halfshafts, at reasonable prices, that solves all the original problems. FYI, Spicers take F-500 Ford truck u-joints and OEMs are sized even larger.
