    Claire, personally I tend to go for good aftermarket units
    - especially making sure that they are greaseable.

    Let's be honest - when was the last time you took a grease
    gun to your propshafts? 8*)

    Find out the manufacturer Paddock is selling - if it's
    India Generic or the like run, don't walk away. in that
    case, Spicer or Precision UJs are easily available at about
    any motor factors (in the USA - good UK brand??) and aren't
    all that hard to replace.

    If you've had one go, shooting all 4 might be a good idea.
    You'd be amazed how much vibration and crap that worn UJs
    can cause...
