Guibo couplers (U-Joint Substatute)
Are they all the same? Is there a "Best" one? Is there an aftermarket stronger design?
Thanks Mike |

What u-joint are you trying to substitute or replace? Guibos typical allow for some slack/twist to take up shock loads. So a guibo would dampen the hard connection, unlike a pin & block u-joint that is rigid.

Kevin hit it on the head - Guibos take up shock. They are not designed to flex like a CV joint. If they were used in typical CV joint angles they would probably quickly self destruct.
