u-joint replacement
hey guys ive a weird noise when im driving its builds up and is louldest around 80klms. the noise stays when i knock it into netrual while driving and also when slowing down.
its a knida howling whining sound.
ive done a good few searches and i think its the u-joints.
how many u-joints do i need and the best place to buy them. i will have to get them shipped as im in Ireland.

97 4speed auto 2wd with selectable 4wd diesel.

im pretty sure you will need 4. i would strongly recomend spicer http://www.spicerparts.com/driveshaft/automotive.asp they are very solid and long lasting. and just in case you might want some help here is a thread i found helpful first time i did mine http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/ujoint_install/
edit: if you dont know how many you need, just go and count them

as simple as that pirate article makes it sound, u joints are not fun, im on a 3 day battle and counting with mine.
Between school and work and having to improvise with usless tools it doesnt make it easy.
If you've never done a U-joint, get a 12 pack of beer, and invite over a buddy that has experience doing so.
I just moved in and the guy across the street from me is a ford mechanic, thankfully he was a nice guy and willing to help.
He will get a 12 pack of coors light within the next few days
