What free hub body?

I'm after a better free hub body than my current one and I think it's on it's way out. I get chain slip but there's nothing wrong with my chainrings, chain etc, they have all been replaced. I checked the free hub body by hand and I find the pawls don't catch all the time.

It will be for a Shimano hub, I think the model is FH-M535. Will any free hub body fit on this hub?

I'm after something that's good quality but won't break the bank and also something that engages quickly. The one I currently have there are not many clicks and you can move the pedals a fair bit before it engages. I'm not bothered about how quiet it is, if anything I'd like a louder one so I know it's working. With my one being dead silent and not working great it's not the best thing to ride with. I'm a bit sceptical about putting all my power into the pedals in case it slips and I hurt my down below parts :P

Cheers

    Nope, most won't fit. Freehubs are specific to the hub, generally.
    If you want a noisy one - new wheel.

    Ok cheers. I thought there were only two types but doesn't matter. Getting some wheels built in a month or two anyway, I'll just replace it with a Shimano one for now.
