  • APEX UV joints

    We put in APEX uv joint's in last year(two year warranty) and I have found alot of them have already busted thier seals and started leaking or the boot has already busted. Has anyone else had any problems with this product?
    Why yes, we wax them everyday!

    We have used apex since day one at my current center. Granted that when we ordered them we recieved 2 different kinds but they outlast the amf/vantage ones. The vantage U joints are great but grease leaks out of the boot because there only secured on there by a spring. Common guys..a spring? Lets spend the extra cent and use zip ties.

      Since I use the pitbull U- joint and knowing I have to change them once a year and knowing I don't need grease and knowing they are not expensive I should choose for that one!!
      I heard the Bulldog is good too.

      PS

      The pitbull is from Vantage, the Bulldog is from Universal Revolutions.
      So it goes.

        I just use the standard AMF metal ones with no problems. The Apex joints cost twice as much and aren't really any better in my opinion. I have AMF joints running strong for well over 5 years now.
        Give me a hammer and some duct tape and I can fix it!

          I think Martins on the right track. You can by 5 of the plastic ones for the price of a metal one. Just do the whole house in plastic every year or so.

          If anybody wants to know how many games I get off the AMF Gold, AMF plastic and Vantage metal I could do some homework this weekend and post the numbers.

                APEX joint boots do pop pretty easy. I got some rebuild boots to fix the problem (grainger?). I cut the metal clamps/springs that hold the boot in place, cut the boot off, then replace it with a new boot, shoot some grease into it with a grease needle, and close it up with a zippie. None of the rebuild boots have torn so far.
