Don't think the 2/3"lift helps mate.

£18 plus vat I have just paid for Hardy Spicer GKN UJ (Part Ref Number HS160 For my 200TDI Disco)


It may pay to shop around at your local motor factors

its only when you get body lift too and dont grease them often enough you will get problems

Body lift doesn't have any effect on the UJs. Everything is connected to the chassis and that's when the angles change.

Dave, i bought the heavy duty prop uj from AMD, think it was £15.The part no.TVC100010G. It is also listed for the EFI to cope with the extra torque. Got one here if you want as mine has got an imperial prop on the front so it doesn't fit

hope this helps
