Stay away from the cheapies for the half shafts or you be doing the job every other week end. Napa's are good as are brute force and Spicer.

Default Brute Force!

I got my Brute Force joints from autozone. Good price (<$20 each) and a great part! Be sure to get the ones without the zerks. Solid joints beat hollow ones by quite a bit.

I've been told to only get the Spicer U-joints from GM. Get them for a bogblock Vette, they're the best you can get...
