Moog 254 Super Strength Universal Review

Awesome gimbals. Moog makes a very high quality product and it is well lubricated. No difficult installation, especially with a press. Just be careful with the driveshaft yolk as the belts can go oval and not hold the U-joint tight.

This is Moog and probably the best known brand for quality. In this case I have no reason to believe it is fake. But there was rust on the cups. Not enough to disrupt installation and they'll rust in place, but not having a shiny new piece is a little disappointing.

Replaced the rear drive shaft u-joint with this after mine broke down on my '98 Ford Ranger. I finally got around to swapping mine out, and as soon as I pulled out the old, rusty, frozen hinge, this thing went in like butter. I forgot how smooth driving becomes when you actually have good parts.

Installed on Tacoma 07 4X4 DCLB to replace the universal joint I removed to get to the main bearing. I previously installed a Spicer 5-1330X and had no mechanical issues, but the case rusted. The Moog looks and feels like a heavy hitter. The only problem is that when the locking rings were installed, the caps were very tight. I had to rock it back and forth a little to make it relax a little. When I get them back I'll grind end caps 0.25mm or so. Most likely I'll focus on Spicer crosses next…

First, if you have the right U-piece, it's good for you. It's not easy and there's a lot of conflicting information out there, at least for older Ford trucks, but I had a similar problem trying to help someone else. There is a lot of information out there that is just plain wrong. In any case, I had to file the clips a bit to get them to fit perfectly. not bad, and the Spicer version, at least the one I had, was stiffer. On a 1988 F150 4x4 this goes to the rear driveshaft in the transfer case…

Always bought Moog for suspension, ball joints and cross members. I bought one of these from Auto Zone and installed it on the back of the driveshaft. At the time I didn't want to replace one without the other, so I ordered one from Revain for the front and installed it in the front. or so. I thought maybe it was my fault for not re-lubricating it. In any case. 4 months later I'm driving 80 on the Interstate and the entire front half of my driveshaft fell off and ended up on the road. It…
