I was able to get a greasable one here in NZ, but I'm not sure about the UK, also am not sure about brands
It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out

Avoid blue point like the plague, suzuki use koyo for UJs and they are better sealed than most others. With UJs pay the extra for good quality ones, they will work out cheaper in the long run.

Hardy spicer are good UJs HS157 for external 25x63.8mm

Koyo numbers for the External circlip is RC1518-CC1A, Internal type is RC1518-RCC1.

Toyo are ok, but have heard about them only lasting 15000 miles or so. RUJ1783 with external circlips, or RUJ1795 with internal circlips.

Pretty sure the last ones I bought were hardy spicer.

I was going through UJ's on the rear of my Sammy every couple of months thill I bought this:

never had an issue since - still works out cheap after shipping and customs! will eventually change them all to these.

Talking of customs charges - does the UK charge it on shipping too? over here they do! cant understand how they can charge a tax on shipping!!!! WHen i asked abouit it all you get is the Cyprus shrug! actually the way things are going ion Cyprus they will be taxing fresh air soon!
