I recomend changing your u-joints yourself. I just changed mine in the rear last weekend. A lot of guys on here say to go with the greasable fitting when putting on a new u-joint, however, I got my u-joint at the local auto parts store and got a non greasable with a lifetime warranty on the part and the greaseable was only a 2 year warranty. The part is not that expensive but over time if the part needs to be replaced for any reason it can get up there in price. Addtionally I enjoy changing the parts myself so I know how the job was done and the labor is free. Good luck if you do it yourself. If you do take that route there are some tips I can give you for removing the old one if you have the plastic inject holding in the u-joint.

Talk to Pat's Driveline, I found them to be very knowledgeable and prices were fair.

You could also check the local Alberta DTR Chapter (ABDTR on the forum home page). There is a very active group here.
