How often do you replace your Universals?
After a season of modified touring my rear universals were pretty worn
out. The CVD crosspin or "joint pin" began to wear a groove into the bone
itself and the "barrel" or "coupler" stretched out the bone's bore. I could rock the wheel back & forth because of the play that developed.
A pic of a new pair without any stretching or worn groove.
Question is, do you keep racing on it? I still pulled
fast laps.

I've notice spools are extra hard on CVDs, but they're too expensive to keep replacing. I try to replace only what's needed. Maybe even rotate the front CVDs to the rear after a number of races.
