Sorry to bring up an old post but I've discovered that my 82 ute has staked in u joints. So has anyone done this themselves and can the u joints be purchased here and not In the states.

Also I assume once they have been replaced the shaft needs to be re balanced since there's quite a lot of force and hammering involved in taking them out which would throw it out of wack.

Any help and advice would be great

Thanks

Nope, does not require rebalancing.

Ok great. Makes the job easier and cheaper. So any ideas on where to get the joints besides the website stated in the wiki.

Yes, several parts suppliers in USA sell the Rockford u-joints. Search google with the part number.

Shipping from USA to AUS would be $25. Two joints will fit in a USPS 10-day International Priority box.
