Genuine Uni Joint v Aftermarket Ones, GQ Maverick

[Robo]

Had a vibration almost a hum if ya like coming threw the wagon.
tail shaft movement felt tight I removed shaft and sure enough the uni's were grabbing when moved by hand.
I had previously purchased some aftermarket uni's p/No RUJ 3007 from local guy (not ebay).
The seal arrangement on gen ones removed were internal seal inside the cups, so this allowed the unis to be shimmed to very close end play, the shims are the c-clips.
The after market uni's use the traditional external bumper style seal and end play seems non adjustable as a result, other than eye-ball alignment of cups and inserting clips and tapping yoke to seat cups against clip.
but this allows the unis to end float say 3 mm.
Now tail shaft/yokes has been reassembled as it came apart, and now I have a vibration worse than it was previously around 80 kph that wasn't there before uni's were done.

And no it isn't the front end or bushes etc "All done".
I have't turned shaft 180 deg yet as I believe I did a good job of re-assembly.
I was wondering was I given the wrong unis?.
Do I need to get different Genuine shims to correct end play?, but recon the seals would flog out if shimmed up end play.
Any ideas people.:driving2:

Ya might need the ruj2028 or 901003 uni's for the rear shaft on a mav.The uni's when assembled should have about 0.02mm float.

Thanks.
Gen manual quoted .02 mm end play so your on the money.
Maybe I should have measured up, but the cups were the right size in dia, so I didn't look further.
let down again buy wrong parts by the looks of it.
spoke with supplier, had another listing, think (901003) as a replacement as I told him about end play .
They should be here Friday, will measure these ones.

Cheers

RUJ 3007 were incorrect ones.
901003 were correct.
Did look at RUJ 2028 they are external seal like RUJ 3007.
RUJ 2028 physically smaller guessing they suit the front shaft may be .
But seeing as 3007 didn't suit I'm guessing 2028 possibly same deal, wrong design and size for ford maverick.

Fitted and good as new.
Tip--keep old c-clips in case you need adjustment.
Clips supplied with new uni's were 2 mm thick.
cheers
