Anyone know of a Cheap place to purchase u joints??? im at that stage in my driveshaft rebuild and i popped off one of my u joints today .. soo i just need a place to go get 2 of them. My recall kit will come with the 3rd one and the yoke, plus the new carrier bearings i got and the hardware

AFAIK the cheapest way to get the joints is to get them in the recall kits. The kits with the yoke and all cost LESS than the joints by themselves. Don't buy some ghetto ones or you'll be doing it again.

well i purchased the 1 recall kit for $30 and that comes with the u joint ill use for up front. I went to the auto parts store and they had the other 2 in stock .. cost me like $12 a peice . They look like theyre built pretty good , I dont see me having any issues with them

So you need more of them or you found what you're looking for locally?

Cool, I hope they work out for you and don't put your car down again for next season.

I aborted the middle U-joint install because it turned into a huge pita. I don't remember exactly what the problem was but it is NOT easy to change that one.
