Anyone using Excalibur U-Joints??

mitaker · Sep 23, 2012

Been looking into upgrading joints for a while. I thought I had decided on CTM's, but found Excalibur has the same 300M body and 4340 caps. They also have a no questions asked lifetime warranty, and at more than $200 per set less it's a brand to consider. Anyone have some feedback on this product?

I bought an Excaliber at KOH a couple years ago as a spare. It looks ok but nowhere near the beef of an Ouverson. I have had good luck out of the Ouverson joints and know a couple guys that swear by the Yukon because it does not have a bushing so it has extra material in the trunion. Both the Yukon and Ouverson are more reasonable than the CTM.

there is a thread on pirate about the Excalibur (nitro) joints not actually being 300M.

I'd just run the yukons or ouversons.

I ran them in a dana 44 with 42's and a V8 only ever got to break 1 of them. Pretty damn tough!

Thanks for the info guys!
I found the thread on pirate for those interested in checking it out. Lots of technical data on there.

Looks like I will probably go with Yukon, Ouversion, or drop the extra coin on CTM's. :dblthumb:

Longfield makes them for 44 and 60 too.
