Default Just a Little confused?

Im replacing my U-joints for the second time and im going to be replacing them with the same ones as last time with a greaseable Zerk. But it says on the prop shaft rebuild i only need three? Shouldnt i need 4? Any specific U-joints i should be looking for? Can i replace that 4th spot with a regular u-joint?!

Some discovery series 1 only have one ujoint at the transfer case side of the rear driveshaft and a rotoflex coupler at the rear end. Some have a ujoint at each end. If you are doing front and rear driveshafts, by a joint for every place you have a joint.

So on my hunt for U-joints today i called countless parts stores to finally end up with checkers ordering them to be in tomorrow. But i would like to share something completely ridiculous with you, The bearings i ordered were 22.99. They also had some 11.99 ones but were poor grade. In my search i found a range of around 20-55 dollars for U-joints. . . And then i called Land Rover Denver South. And they quoted me 127 dollars for ONE thats one UNIVERSAL joint for 127 dollars. HAHAHA Who is that stupid!?!?!

Advance Auto Parts has made in USA u-joints for about $12.49. PDQ 1-0005, as listed in the link I provided.
Several in the Denver area have them in stock.

I went to the advance in littleton and they told me all they had were 2 that ran around 26.99 a U-joint. So i told them No. I finally got them through checkers for 11.99 and have installed them So thank you guys, Im glad i got that done!
