Hi -

I'm getting my driveshaft u-joints replaced (2000 shaft in a '66 1600 w/5
spd). Somebody at Shasta made a point of emphasizing that I should get
nothing but Nissan geniune replacement parts.  Said Nissan made the best
u-joints of any manufacturer in the industry.  He was adamant!

Anybody want to offer an opinion? Are after market u-joints just as good?
better? worse? which brands would be better? which to avoid?

greaseless? or should I get ones with grease fittings? there is such a
thing, yes?

thx!
-Eric
