UJ replacement

[timwilks13]

I had 2 UJ's go so had to order new ones, was recommended Koyo but after lots of hunting, and a specialised place hunting for me, turns out they no longer produce them. In the end I ordered some Stark bearings, but they turned up today and feel terrible. The caps are so loose they almost rattle on the ends. Has anyone ever used Stark UJs and can attest to whether they are good? Tempted to just order something else and not waste time fitting them.

Never heard of them bud.

Were they from a factors or bearing supplier?

Bought them online, figured German suppliers are probably going to be decent quality.

Sending them back but picked up some Matsuba ones from a local guy, sealed for life ones and feel pretty sturdy so see how I get on with these.

Last time I did a UJ, I fitted whatever ebay had in the right size. I vaguely remember them being for a Dihatsu or something, but being the correct size I didn't pay much attention to that (although I did get the wrong size off of ebay at first - I think they were for a 410). Can't tell you any more than that (although they were probably cheap chinesium). No play in them that I remember.
