I thinking of getting my front drive shaft rebuilt by a Transmission/Driveline shop here in Las Vegas. What is the size of the u-joints if I was to order them to have them for the rebuild?

 

I just called autozone, gave them the model of my Rover and they gave me the part number. Seeing as they didn't have enough at that location I ordered them online and they were delivered straight to my door..

 

There're a couple of threads in here that discuss it under "Drivetrain":

be careful of the Autozone u-joints, the typical store stock are cheap Chinese u-joints. If they don't say Made in USA on the u-joint, return them.
The driveline shop that's rebuilding it won't have any problem supplying u-joints.

 

I should clarify that I used autozone for part # and bought US made U-joints online after some research using the part number from autozone. Knock on wood but they've held up thus far (1.25 years..)

 

it is a pita job, I would opt for the best parts i could get. it hopes of not having to do it again

 

The Autozone PN, 1-0005, is the Neapco PN that then kept using when they quit selling the PDQ u-joints that were reboxed Neapco. Other PN's are near the bottom of this post: https://landroverforums.com/forum/ge...02/#post164811

 

One driveline shop quote me $475 labor and $80 for 2 u-joints. I just decided to buy a aftermarket rebuilt drive shaft.

 

you can get one for $250 or so from lucky8

 

Thanks for the heads up on luck 8.
