Universal Joints

Post by Anton » Mon Mar 31, 2014 9:15 pm

I bought the wrong UJ recently. I think (without measuring it, it's with the SJ, parked up waiting for me to swap the clutch) that I need the 25mmx63.8mm UJ, and I bought the 23.8x62.7mm UJ.

I'll measure it to make sure, but:

A) Who wants a 23.8mmx62.7mm UJ if that's what it turns out to be?

B) Where do you get your UJ's lads?

C) A 4cl L200 or Pajero apparently has 25x63.8 UJ's up front, does that mean I could fit one of those if I can't find anything else?

I'm thinking about the Mitsi UJ's because they're TOYO, and the SJ ones keep coming up ADL Blueprint (which I've heard bad things about).

I just get my UJs from the local bearing supplier, usually around £25 each for a decent brand like Koyo (what Suzuki use)

.....my experience of Toyo UJs isn't that great.
