U-joints; rear bearings, etc
I see that TLD has half-shaft U-joints for $20 ea (w/o grease fitting) and $21 ea (w/grease fitting). Are these any good? Will the joints w/o the grease fitting last very long? Stock joints do or don't have a grease fitting? I'm thinking not...
And then there's the bearing/hub assy. Delco for $226, non-Delco for $115. Anyone have any experience with TLDs non-Delco bearing hubs?

Stock u-joints do not have a zerk.
I just installed a set of the non-Delco bearings and the half-shaft Delco u-joints, all purchased from TLD. No complaints. When I talked to them they said they actually had more returns on the Delco wheel bearings, something about them being off center.
