prop-shaft upgrade advice needed
hi,i have a td5 110 160k on the clock and now the uj's are worn so i am wondering if there is any point in upgrading the shafts to something better than standard but not mega money competition stuff,road work and lanes not winch comp

was looking at the ones with double nipples

thanks

I run the Gwyn Lewis props front and rear. Competition or not its nice to know you have something with fully greaseable shaft, UJs etc and is slightly oversized and more heavy duty. Fully replaceable components so buy them once and you can repair them forever (if needed - grease regularly and they'll last as long as you need them to)

Unless youre doing anything extreme or running high power id stick to standard and replace with the GKN UJs
