Re: Universal joint which is best
While almost any new universal joint is likely strong enough for regular street duty. many suffer from neglect. Be sure to buy replacements that include a zerk (grease fitting) in the design, so that they can be lubricated regularly without requiring disassembly.
If possible, support parts suppliers like Clark's Corvair Parts when buying replacement parts. Local auto parts stores have enough customers already, but Corvair specialty suppliers only have you for a customer, and we need to support them with our orders!
(Of course, in the United Kingdom or other non-USA locations your shipping and tax issues are a different problem. But the need for grease fittings in your universal joints is still applicable).

Re: Universal joint which is best
Hey Brad thanks for the info , I do use clarks but shipping was more expensive than rock auto. Do we get a forum discount which would help with overseas taxation.
All the best Paul
