Ujoints aren't very expensive, but the job is time consuming. You need to have someone turn the wheels back and forth while you're watching the ujoints to see if they have any play in them or at least inspect them before you go changing things out.

U-joints are cheaper then Tie Rods. If it is a tie rod, locate a V8 ZJ in a wrecking yard, and get that set up instead of sinking $$ into the stock stuff. If it is U-joints, Alloy USA can't be beat and call Northridge for the best price. If you need U-joints NOW, go to autozone and get the Duralast Golds, they have a lifetime warranty, but no grease fittings. If it is a unit bearing, order it from www.roakauto.com, a lot cheaper then any place I have ever found.
If you are going to pull the axle shafts for U-joints, I also recommend outer axle seals. Northridge had them for $60, but check ebay also. They are a lot of work to put back in later.
I am glad to see you upgraded your sig with R.J.- you don't get to choose your nick name, it is chosen for you. ;)
