Just got the following press release from Alloy USA and thought some of you might want to see it. Apparently, they've now got Dana 44 X-joints available for the Jeep JK Wrangler and the part number for it is #11502. Best part is, they're going to retail for only $49.99. Being that these are new, I couldn't tell you how well they will actually hold up but, if they're anything like the ones they had for the TJ, they should do great. Of course, they also come with full circle clips and zerks to allow for regular greasing.
ALLOY USA ANNOUNCES NEW D44 X-JOINTS FOR ’07-’15 JEEP® WRANGLER
Direct, Heavy Duty Replacement for OE U-Joints Stand Up to the Stresses of Off-Roading
Suwanee, Ga. (August 25, 2015) – Alloy USA®, a manufacturer of performance drivetrain products, today announced the release of its new D44 X-Joints for 2007-2015 Jeep® Wrangler (JK).
Available for Wrangler Rubicon and Rubicon Unlimited models equipped with Dana 44 axles, the heavy-duty X-Joints are a direct replacement for the factory U-joints. The X-Joints are manufactured from 8620 case hardened alloy steel and incorporate a number of design features to ensure the joints stand up to the stresses of off-roading.
Each of the X-Joint’s forged bearing caps feature an individual grease Zerk fitting for quick and complete lubrication. In addition, triple ridge seals help keep out dirt and contaminants to maximize joint life. Each Alloy USA X-Joint comes complete with four 360-degree retaining clips, four 180-degree retaining clips and four grease Zerk fittings.
“The great thing about these X-Joints is that they can withstand so much more than a standard U-joint ever could, so Jeep owners never have to worry about being stuck on the trail with a broken U-joint,” said Patrick Bennett, Product Development Manager at Omix-ADA.
Alloy USA’s D44 X-Joints are backed by Alloy USA’s 5-year limited warranty and are available online and through select Jeep and off-road parts/accessories retailers nationwide with an MSRP of $49.99.
