Off Road Toad Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 The type with the seperate drive flange is quite a bit stronger. The mushroom type is pretty much garanteed to fail at the mushroom. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jil6939 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I wouldn't be to sure about whether that is the best option for you as if the mushroom type break at the outside they are easy/cheap(second hand spares) to remove and change at the roadside.The flange type snap at the diff end and without a removal tool are a RPITA to change,they also strip the teeth off the flanges if not maintained. Just suggesting that you may be changing parts when there is no real problem in what you are using it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
