  • Ok, did some digging on USA standard products which is the brand I think those shafts are. They are Yukon products that are not met to quality specs, so a blem you might say. That's why they are so cheap. Wonder if the super joints are the same blem?

    • I have a set of dana 44 shafts from complete off road. They are Yukon axles shafts with super joints.

      they have two different grades; one with American made metal and one with metal made in India. my money is that these are the ones with metal from India.

        I'm running the cheapo Yukons now I'd say. If I would've had this set I could've sent them in for warranty. Pretty sure the stock spicer joint is why it took out the shaft.

        Same PN from USA standard.

        • Havent run any of them yet, so i can only comment on what i have read and researched. My understanding has been...

          Yukon Superjoints are not offered (that im aware of) in 300M, and the CTM's can be 4340 or 300m. CTM makes everything in house and will make the joint out of whatever....but will only warranty the 300m's. Longfields, Nitro Excalibur's and the Ouverson Violators are only offered in 300m.


          Best value - Yukon Superjoints or Longfields.
          Best quality - CTM ("Drive home" joints)
          Worst quality - Nitro Excaliburs. Cheap price, but this was bobby longs old patent that he sold to nitro when he redesigned the current Longfield. Chase @ ECGS wont even sell them to you (willingly), because they've had an abundance of warrantied joints. The design prevents/starves the caps from getting the necessary grease.


          I was leaning heavily towards the Ouverson Violators, but after some lengthy discussion with Randy @ Ouverson and Scott Morris about availability (extremely slow production out of Ouverson) concerns....i steered away.

          I think the perception about the Longfields is incorrect because theyre sold by Trail Gear. I wouldn't hesitate at all to run the Longfields; tons of guys running their D60 joints with great success and next to zero failures.

          I would recommend a call to Chase @ ECGS. He hooked up me up really well on my 35 spline 4340 shaft setup with Yukon Superjoints.

                  • The heavy Chevy is no more. Took what was left to the scrap yard today. It weighed 1760 lbs. Hardly anything left and still weighed almost a ton...

                        They did the same thing when I took the S10 frame down. They wanted the title but I told them that I need the title for the body. Luckily I knew one of the guys down there and they went ahead and did it.

                        • cut it up with a Saw and take it in that way. Tell them it is multiple parts of different vehicles. Little bit of work but you can get rid of it.
