Universal Joint
Those following the half shaft thread will be aware that I have discovered some not inconsiderable driveline slack. On further investigation I have come to the conclusion that it is not (as suspected) the half shaft, or the diff, or the transmission but is likely a US Universal Joint at the rear diff. As such I intend to replace it, and the one at the transmission end, but cannot decide which one to by. Clearly want good kit that will last, but can anyone recommend a brand? Bearmach, GKN, Hardy Spicer? Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

GKN and Hardy Spicer are the same company, one brought the other in 1966, I would go with them UJs are highly stressed components. DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

GKN for me too, worth the extra money and easier to fit as the rollers in the joint tend to stay put.....not like some of the cheaper alternatives.
