There have been alot of comments lately regarding Bairs (PA or OH?). For your utem, alot of people have been thrilled about their work and exchange products. Prices are not bad either. Check out their website.

The only reason I would not ship a rear is the shipping cost minimum $75 each way

Used Bair's for the diff and trailing arms on my 78 years back. They are located North of Pittsburg, PA. They sent shipping boxes to me, I sent the parts to them, they rebuilt and sent the parts back to me in the boxes which I then discarded.

Convenience, price, quality were all very good.

Don't know Wilcox so can't make comment.
