    Get some from NAPA like posted, and make sure you get the ones that need grease occasionally. Personally, I am not a fan of these lifetime lubricated u joints. Use a good, quality grease. I use Amsoil Series 2000 Racing Grease here in the shop for all drive line servicing.

    Look for a brand name joint, like Spicer. Those are the good ones. The cheap ones are, well, cheap.
