Ron,

AFAIK, the factory remans are okay, the aftermarket remans are pretty questionable. NAPA is the only aftermarket one I've seen that's halfway decent but still not up to the factory caliber.

As regards to Ujoints CV's I agree that U-joints are fine for rear axle applications as long as they are set up correctly. You might sacrifice a little rotating weight, that's the only real difference. I drove Z's and 510's for years and never had a problem with the rear Ujoint axles.
