Greaseable UJs for 97 TJ axle shafts are $8.99 in Auto Zone. They're in stock and it's about 200 metres down the road from me.

Any idea about the genuine Spicer ones, 5-760x - they are the same size.

I just bought some from Lighthouse - £45 each  :shock:

I recall earlier this year buying 3 greasable UJs and a new greasable cardan joint for the front prop on my TJ for around £80 ish from Lighthouse. I think the UJs were spicer and the cardan was Crown. I bought whatever was recommended by Lighthouse for off-road abuse! :lol:

 :shock: . Lighthouse are having a hard time getting Spicer parts shipped over here for a reasonable amount, hence the price tag. Could be a load of BS but my friendly Jeep Dealer wanted £68+VAT each and I needed them quick.

I’ve just remembered, the cardan yoke part was made by Neapco an not Crown, but the UJs were Spicer! :-)
