Universal Joints

[Sandgrounder]

My S3 has a worrying amount of steering wheel play at 70mph. Checked the bulkhead bearing and 17mm bolts, both seem ok.
With steering lock on, if I try to twist intermediate shaft, there is no movement, however if I try to lift the shaft up and down, I can feel and hear movement. Does this mean the UJ's are ready for replacement, or is this normal?

If I have to buy some, where can I get them from??

Many thanks

Anybody know what the part number is for the V8S lower joint? Do Rally Design do them?

Thanks
