Who sells the ball bearing for the cardon joint? Can't seem to find it looking online, looks like they want you to buy the whole drive shaft.

I don't know if this is a stupid question or not. According to the link the part says it doesn't fit the land rover but it looks exactly like what I need, so is it the correct part ?, just advance doesn't show it in their network.

Be careful and check it out carefully as Landrover aren't the only trucks that use cardan double UJ joints. If in doubt get a kosher part for your specific LR model as it's a lot of work fitting them and you don't want to waste your time with the wrong part.

I used these people but they are UK based and my choice was the GKN HD UJ's.

Moog stuff is generally quite good, certainly not the best, but acceptable for the price. Better than Britpart in many cases although they have been instructed to 'up their game' regarding LR spares as their reputation currently stinks both in the US and the UK.

Well lucky8 don't carry the centering ball, they just sell whole driveshaft. Advance doesn't seem to carry that part down here around mobile. But good thing is while talking to Erik at lucky8 he said I should be able to just put some fresh grease in it since I'm just rebuilding the driveshaft.
