Important UJ information for future purchase!

AlexD333 · 03-01-2015, 01:07

Ok, just some info if ordering from millers,

I rang them up as there were 4 variants on their website for an R20..

You have the old skool terrano upto 1999 both with grease nipples, one for a Milner prop and one for a standard prop.

And you have the newer terrano 2000 onwards, again I had the option to order ones with grease nipples so I chose them obviously

same price too.

Just thought i would mention to save future confusion. Do not order the Milner UJ for the milner prop unless you have replaced your OEM prop with a Milner one as the internal sizes differ slightly

Basically, milners later model UJs can have optional nipples on

They also warned me not to buy the "milners uj" unless I have a "milners prop" as they wont fit on an OEM prop

sounds like they are trying to corner the market, do not worry I have props here that we can take the UJ's off if they are indeed different, Rick

I got one on my fourtrak still going but got lots of play the trouble with the fourtrak ones is they put the grease nipple where you can't get gease gun on without removing the prop.was just looking at the Terrano ones some are like that the others have the nipple on one of the caps. Still un like most of the stuff milners sell they aren't Chinese they are made in india

I might have to agree somewhat with CNC for the fact that I fitted them to my Maverick and 2 months later one of them failed!!!! Initially I put this down to me fitting incorrectly first time round but I'll see when I come to replace the ones on the Terrano as I'll be going with the Toyo ones with nipples again

Nothing ever lasts as long as the original equipment on a car from new.
Batteries.
Exhaust.
Brake disks.
Windscreen washer pump

Upper ball joints.
ARB joints.

Ooh that's not always entirely true rustic.

A perfect example would be my downpipes on my bike. Rotted to hell..replaced with stainless steel and been good ever since
