Review on 🚘 MOOG 285 U-joint: High-performance U-joint for optimal vehicle stability by Chad Myers

Revainrating 1 out of 5

bad mistake. Even with fully assembled covers.

I work with Toyotas a lot and this joint was mounted on the rear shaft of a '95 pickup on a pinion. I've always used OEM Matsuba hinges but decided to see if I could save some money and make a common mistake. Even with the caps fully installed and the C-clamps fully seated, the spider will move between the caps. It lasted the full 15 miles before being worn out by slop. It may fit better and work well in other apps, but definitely not mine.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Operating Speed
