Hey, Cubs fan!

The lower U-joint isn't too terrible. I've done it on a junkyard car at the pick-n-pull, just to practice. My '87 244 has some slop in the lower U-joint. I priced a Volvo part, checked the prices at online vendors such as fcp/Groton for an aftermarket part. I finally decided to buy a good used one from Brian Leppin. He gave me a good price, and Brian doesn't salvage junk -- his used parts will work reliably for a long time. I don't know of good used parts vendors in the Chicago area (Brian is in the D.C. area), but maybe you could cruise some pick-n-pulls and grab a good one on your own. When I get around to it in a couple of weeks, I'm going to put Brian's U-joint into my '87. It's been sitting in my kitchen for 6 months.
