+* Those Mitsubishi part numbers are factory fitted universal joints on their Pajero 2 vehicles (and possibly Pajero 1 as well).
 ** Therefore, they are also high quality parts.
 * Reasons why they are "more-or-less the same" as the Koyo joints used in <font face="courier">Suzuki 27200-83812</font>:
 ** All three universal joints have the same dimensions and therefore are mutually interchangeable in practice.
 ** <font face="courier">Mitsubishi MR350138</font> also has no grease nipple like Suzuki, but it omits the dust/water boots/seals on the universal joint body, which the Suzuki has. On the other hand, Mitsubishi joint's end caps have a seal with double lips, while Suzuki's joint's caps have a seal with a single lip.
-** <font face="courier">Mitsubishi MR196837</font> comes with a grease nipple, which fits into a factory drilled hole in one of the four caps. Apart from that, it externally appears to be the same as <font face="courier">Mitsubishi MR350138</font> (no seals on the joint body, seals on the caps appear to be the same).

 * Conclusion: Either of those two Mitsubishi universal joints can be used instead of original Suzuki universal joints and are considered to be high quality alternatives, which are superior to most aftermarket replacements.

 * Practical experience from many users has shown that most cheap aftermarket replacement universal joints (costing cca 10-25 EUR) are of inferior quality and durability compared to the original.
 * A low quality universal joint typically lasts for about 6 - 24 months or about 5 000 - 20 000 km or so of on-road driving, and significantly less when driving on all terrain.
