Anything else, I'll buy the best apparent quality I can afford.

Retroanaconda Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 To be fair, you can now buy UJs that are the same as the genuine ones without paying LR prices. These ones are the same as those in the LR boxes: https://www.shop4autoparts.net/parts/axle-suspension/universal-joint-hd-grsr-gkn-hs-18mm-j-75x27/ Other ‘OEM’ ones have poorer seals, and smaller bearing journals/rollers. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
