Review on πŸ”§ MOOG 270 U-Joint: Unmatched Performance and Durability in Automotive Suspension Systems by Marlin Atonyo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Looks like OEM, time will tell.

I bought this "Super Strength" gauge for this gimbal. It seems solid, but how do you look at it and really know. I don't agree that it uses a tiny Zerk fitting that requires a needle-like lube. You will either need to use an adapter and buy special needle lube or replace it to match the OEM. Hats are tight. It took a lot of work to install them. As with all universal joints, they use a greenish grease that doesn't have much viscosity. Already when inserting the cover several needle bearings fell off. Not a big deal, but I'd suggest you just grab a tube (or more) of Nitro Lubricants Tacky Red Lithium Complex Tube Grease for Grease Guns and pour into mugs. The thing is tough, viscous and strong, just like a lubricant should be.

Pros
  • Gimbals and parts
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other picks
