Okay to get auto zone u-joint?
Okay to get auto zone u-joint? I want to replace my u-joint today and auto zone has one in stock that is fairly inexpensive. I think it's like $20 or something. Should I just get that or would I be better off going to the dealer?

What do you mean by preforming badly? If you've installed a new u Joint properly there won't be a problem.A worn out u joint is something you don't want to wait around to change! Don't cheap out on a u joint it not worth it. Buy a good quality one!
I would use Performance Dynamics, which is Neapco's high end joint. This is what PST uses on all their high end carbon fiber shafts. For the stock fbody shaft, you need 3R (S44) joints. I would also recommend using a coated ujoint made for aluminum driveshafts to minimize the chance of galvanic corrosion between two dissimilar metals. Also, I was also told -not- to use Neapco's Brute Force line of ujoints, as they are not a very good joint and have inferior bearings. These Brute Force ujoints are found at a lot of discount auto parts stores and have a 'BF' at the end of the Neapco part number I believe.
here is a xref chart for all sorts of joints:
