Hi guys, I need to order two outer U/Js for my 350i (MoT failure) but looking on the parts page there are several makes and different sizes.
Can anyone a) tell me the correct size/part number, and b) the best place to purchase from?
I've tried Neil at ML performance where I've bought bits from before, but he's gone awol and got a ''proper'' job apparently so may not be able to help
Thanks in anticipation
Tim

To be sure measure the ones on there - as you say there are different sizes and someone may have upgraded the driveshafts (I know I did on my 350i)

As John says avoid the chinese tat - I prefer japanese tat i.e. GKN.

Funny story... I used a 'Jag independent supplier' for a good pile of parts a few years back and when I gave the guy my card details over the phone I joked "Don't be rushing out and buying yourself a Ferrari with these details"... within hours my card had been run up to its limit with criminal activity, mostly buying iPhones in some town down south - that was, strangely, not that far from the 'Jag independent supplier' rolleyes
Took a while to sort that one out, longer than changing all 6 UJs on the 390, that's for sure.
