Ok guys I have a manual Vx ss. N I noticed my drive shafts have back lash so I want to get new 1s. I'm a big fan of do it once do it right. From what I have been told reco 1s are cr@p and don't bother using them. And only use genuine ones. I called Holden and they want 697.50 each. I'm not going out and Dropping the clutch every corner but I do like to give it abit every now and then. My question is what do you guys use? How much you pay for em? What do you think is best?
