reminds me of the movie tommy boy where the parts guy wants to have a guaranty printed on the box of brake pads he knows to be inferior because the customer derives comfort from seeing the text. the main character, tommy boy, tells the parts house owner that he would be happy to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed if that would make him feel better, but he would be well advised to buy quality parts from the outset. best way to find good u-joints is to go to a real industrial bearing shop and mic the parts at the time of purchase. they typically do not sell the crap the automotive guys stock. unless you are getting NOS or known quality from a military vendor, you are just paying them a markup on the same locally available junk. that is what sold me on midwest military. john is a user and a vendor and will quality control what he sells. his upper cone bushings for the front axle and axle spindle bushings are spot on for tolerances. buy them from anyone else and your are taking a shot. ask paul in ny. just my 2 cents.
