Been reading about the importance of replacing the front u-joint with the greasable variety. Where can I purchase them and approximately how much can I expect to spend on the parts? Thanks in advance.

 

NAPA has 3 for under sixty dollars

 

Ooops. 2000 Disco II. 105,000 miles. I always forget to say that.

 

Don't forget to get the centering pivot bearing & ball that's in the middle of the double cardon joint (in between two of the u-joints at one end of the front driveshaft). It's about 26 dollars. The old one is pressed in (a bit of a pain to remove), once out, press in the new one.

Edit: Adding some info from a previous post I made, and more.

The "ball kit" part # is either

Neapco 7-0081NG

or

Precision 617

Either brand works.

For U-joints:

Note: the Neapco U-Joint is nice (part # 1-0005), it has the grease zerk nipple in the end cap, making for easy greasing. The Precision 344 u-joints do not have the endcap zerk fitting, but is in the base of the joint (less friendly to grease). If your parts supplier looks up the u-joint by vehicle make and can't find a LR Disco, get a u-joint for a 1993 Volvo 240 (same joint size).

If you do this yourself, be extra careful not to dislodge any of the needle bearings in any of the afore mentioned parts.
