I need new u-joints I destroyed two this weekend. Do you have any super heavy duty ones? Or should I get them from Randy! I want to only do this once! Greeseable?

If you only want to do it once, replace the entire axle.
No
U-joint will hold up as well as the original, especially if you broke one already. It may seem expensive, but think how long the originals held up.

Thanks livewire,
I can't afford to replace the whole axle. I could replace all the joints for around 140. I think durbillity all depends on the driver too. What or who has the best u-joints?
Thanks

$140 all around would just be adding to the price of the new axle shafts so you would then have $650 into the axles

If you broke a U-joint, the axle is already distorted. You will be lucky if the new U-joint does not break the first time you ride it. I have 4 of the best
available
U-joints. I will sell them to you for the $140 and provide free shipping. I feel like a drug dealer saying if I don't sell them to him someone else will.

Hey I broke the same u-joint about 3 times. I must have not gotten the retainers in properly and I lost it after I fixed it. I then went to a shaft shop and had them do it thinking that it would safe. I got about 1 hour out of it before the new u-joint shattered the idiots used a caste u-joint and not a forged steel one. I told it needed to be forged. This also bent my almost new rear shock. I am not suggesting you try anything yourself I think your best bet will be to buy a new one trust me I tried to be cheep but it coasted me more in the long run.
Expenses:
First u joints $47
Shaft repair shop $120
New axle $450
New rear shock $300
Total stupid mistake $917
In the end I ended up spending enough to buy 2 new axles.
