Subject: [TR] Replacing Universal joints on a drive shaft

I=E2=80=99ve been fortunate enough to source myself a pair of half =
shafts from a Triumph 2000. These apparently fit a Triumph Stag which I =
have. The shafts come with replicable universal joints, unlike the =
staked type currently on my Stag. =20

I can get two types of joint GUJ102 without zirk / grease nipple or =
GUJ107 with zirk / grease nipple. 2 are required per side.  The problem =
with GUJ107 is once fitted to the car there is no way to get to the zirk =
closet to the hub as it is enclosed by the radius arm.  I=E2=80=99m =
aware TR6s have a similar setup.

So should I get 4 no-zirked type and fit once and forget, or buy the =
zirked type and periodically, which means never in my case, re- grease =
by removing the shaft?

Do the zirked type really need pumping with grease once in a while?

Also, doing a cross reference to other part numbers of the zirked type , =
prices vary from $11 to $25 Any recommendations on brand I found the =
ones below.=20

I also found a cross reference to GMB

GUJ107 cross references these following parts

Sujit,
I have been using GoodParts CV axles with the uprated aluminum wheel 
hubs in my Triumphs.

These eliminate the Triumph Twitch altogether and are basically install 
and forget.

I am never going back to U-Joints and sliding shafts unless I build a 
Triumph for concours only.
