Source for U-joint straps (u-bolts?)

Post by Jesus_man »

The stuff at the local auto parts is from Taiwan and if they are anything like the chinese steel, I don't want them on my bronco. So where's a good source from some American made parts? Thanks!

Called Drivetrain and they have some in stock for the 1-1/16" caps. If I need 1-1/8" caps, will have to order. Speak to Tim there if you need anything.

Did not call Driveline Services yet, but I am sure they would have it. I had one shaft rebuilt there and it cost me an arm and a leg. Drivetrain has been as good to me, but better on the prices.

Rocky mountain driveline is a good source as well and front range driveline.

I had to stop at Napa last night so I decided I'd ask. They have some made by Federal Mogul, but are USA made, so I bought them and will try them! I would prefer the Dana Spicer stuff, but I just don't have the time to drive to a source for those.
