Looks like one, only rebuilt with serviceable u-joints. Nobody else seems to use a rubber boot at the slip joint.

Depending on the u-joints used, this might be cheaper than having a local shop rebuild ours? That way, there's a second, backup, one around too.

Nah it's just an Allmakes unit. Presumably made in China and likely the same time that failed in my photo from the other thread.

Oh? Can you offer a little more info so we can make informed decisions? I apologize for not verifying the info myself too. Are they as good or better than the Original? I'm guessing the Grease Fittings make it better.

Ahh well a photo is worth a thousand words, and the allmakes watermark made assumptions for me! What brand is it? Not the bailey morris is it? Is it a 99-02 or a 03-04 size?
