I have a little play on my UJ joint and at some time in the future I want to replace it, is it best to go OEM or is there any other option ?
Thanks

Yes.
I looked on there site and couldent see it, I will look again.
edit: It was the first part in the list different part number, pattern part, ok for the steering rather than OEM ?

It's been recommended before by others. Not sure I've ever had one on any of the 2s I've owned. The OEM is either hard to come buy or very expensive unless my memory is failing me.
