I have been quoted £399 for a complete steering column on my 04 XF as you are not able to replace just the bottom uj anymore, rip off bar stewards, is this true or has anyone found a way round having to buy the complete thing, or has anyone got a nos bottom uj spare ?
Can’t you take it to somewhere that repairs prop shafts? That’s what I do with my fh steering shafts, keeping a spare one just in case.
Pay a visit to your local propshaft company they can usually replace the joint with one that can be greased, our local guys do all ours no problem.

£40 max any commercial propshaft specialist.
It’s expensive yes but what would happen if it FAILED. Safety does cost and I’d rather pay and be sure right,it’s done ten years so it’s not to bad unlikely you would ever have to replace it again
Propshaft repair/fabricators, new joint fitted with a grease ■■■■■■ will out see the truck! And for no where near what you have been quoted! I’ve never done it any other way

Thanks for the replies, I have replaced it now with a new one, The garage have kept the old one and I shall try the propshaft specialist angle and get the uj replaced and sell it on.
