Default Harmonic balancer/u-joint?

My car has been vibrating like crazy and realized the harmonic balancer, front U joint and front yoke are bad. My question is will the stock parts work fine or are there aftermarket parts that would work better? I just dont want to order the wrong parts and have them not fit. Also any mustang parts website that you could let me know about would be much appreciated. So I can order these parts. Thanks

As mjr said stock will be fine, but if you're going new, don't bother with stock, for a little bit more money, you can get stronger and better aftermarket stuff. Just check out summits site, they have a rediculous amount of balancers, look into pioneer stuff, same as powerbond, my pioneer balancer for my 408 came in a pioneer box but says powerbond on the balancer. Powerbond makes REALLY nice stuff.
