Finally have the angry sparrows and pulled the front driveshaft for a rebuild. It looks like i can run either style centering yoke in my factory sealed bearing driveshaft. Which style do you guys prefer?
Is it like ujoints where the sealed spicer is longer lasting?
 
I did the sealed kit from Denny's Driveshaft. If you regularly drive though water and/or mud the greasable option may be preferable.

It did start after getting stuck in a river. Not that i do it often but i do love mud and water crossings.

I've been looking at the dennys rebuild kits too and figured I'd ask here first.

I'd definitely do greaseable then. When I was younger and liked to play in the mud and lived out east the angry sparrows would return within a matter of months of installing a new centering ball.

My solution as I've gotten older is to avoid mud and water like the plague, and my driveline components last seemingly infinitely longer. No more yearly unit bearing changes.
