unless you like hi revving and dump clutch to see if you can wheel spin i dont know how you need to go through uj's that often

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

think twice before getting those cheappy ones ie 3 for £15 -  a decent GKN one will cost you nearly that for 1

£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

mine was lifted for 2yrs and nothing doing

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

Neil :)
