thanks for that. Got in touch with a subaru dealer and they told me that you have to buy the whole propshaft at £700 as they do not supply replcement UJ's. I was too stunned to ask if this was for one shaft or for the two. I will get the old ones out and get in touch with the guys at IMS

I took a prop a few years back to a local propshaft company in Glasgow who replaced one for me and rebalanced the shaft it was pretty cheap. I would be stunned if there is not somewhere local too you.

Now after fitting you need to rebalance shaft, better off as arch said it take to a propshaft company. There's loads about if you google
