  • Conversion U-joints Strength?

    Im having to run two 1350 to 3r conversion joints with my new drive shaft I can only buy the conversion joints in the greasable type. I know the grease type u-joints are suppose to be weaker then solid u-joints has anyone broke any of these running them in there cars? My car is around 400rwhp and is a m6 will they hold up well?

            Well I'm running one on the front and back I hope they hold up I'm running a steel driveshaft so I doubt the driveshaft is weaker then them.

            Does anyone know if the stock steel ls1 driveshaft is 3inch around like the aluminum one?

                No I mean the steel ones that came on ls1 with 2.73 gears.
                I got a 3inch steel driveshaft with my new rear and I'm wondering if its a stock one or not. Its ballanced and has 3r ends
