Lower steering UJ

Post by hijimhere » Fri May 30, 2014 3:26 pm

1996 2.5 TD 4WD I have that on off steering tightening under normal conditions. I have attributed this to the bottom UJ. I have searched the web to locate a replacement - the only one I located so far was from Vosper of Plymouth at just under £84 all in.

Coincidentally the part 32-850A keeps cropping up as a Skoda part with the same ID 32-850A.

Just wondering if anyone has located a reasonably priced clone?

If there is no play in the joint, try using some spray grease - cover the UJ in it.
