Replacement universal joints

[Opsmedic]

Morning

I have to replace the universals on my bakkie, the dealers quoted me R 1073.27 ex vat each for the rear and R 949.82 ex vat each for the front. Is there any suitable replacement for the genuine parts that is not going to break my wallet.

Thanks

Dave

I usually buy from Midas or Autozone, I ask them for the best quality they have in stock and buy it. And never had any problems with them not lasting or failing.

The GMB brand are very good components which are obtainable from Midas or Autozone.

What started as universals has turned into a nightmare . Turns out the front diff pinion bearing is fried as well as crown wheel is missing a tooth. Anyone got contacts PE way for decent prices. Agent quoted R 6900 for crown wheel and pinion, Gemini R 5700 ex vat and courier cost.

hope you get some help. Maybe speak to Hoppy ... he should know the best places and realistic prices.
