Default U-Joint

So, I finally got around to changing my diff fluids this weekend and while I was crawling around under my Jeep I noticed that my passenger side front axle U-Joint is just about gone. There is a lot of play, so I am concerned that it could go any time. Does anyone know where I can get a decent U-Joint locally? I really don't want to wait for northridge to ship a new one to me...

I had to replace my pass front also picked it up at the local Carquest 10 bucks and its holding up just fine. While your there pick up the socket I think its 35 or 36mm can't remember. Autozone would have them also.

Yeah, but the bearing would still be on there. IMO just a PITA and easy to take off. But it does come out with it still on.
