ujoint

How hard would y'all say replacing the U-joints on a Jeep TJ is? I bought all 7 last week and plan on replacing them myself. Any tips?

My steering is looser than I’d like. I thought maybe I’d need to replace the steering box. Crawled under today to see what it looks like. There is a lot of play in the u-joint that leads into the steering box. The one that is higher up doesn’t move like this one does. Does this need to be...

Can someone help me confirm if this is the correct rebuild kit for my jeep’s front driveshaft? If not, can you help me figure out the correct one please? Also, is this a good price or do you know of a better one? Thanks as always...

For sale is 3 brand new Dana Spicer Ujoints. 1) 5-760x 2) 5-1310x Brand new. Been sitting as spares in my shop, but moving to tons and won’t use these going forward.

I just upgraded to chromoly. front Dana 30 27 spline OEM axle shafts. about 5k miles on sealed Spicer 5-760x u-joints. Ran with 32's and an open diff. Includes ABS tone rings but you don't need ABS to use them. The middle part of the passenger side shaft is cleaner because it's been in an 80s...

1998 Jeep Wrangler (SE) - was my first car when I was 16, just got it back after all these years (same exact car). Changed out the tires to 31x10.5x15 (no lift) and now I have shaking and loud noise after a few weeks of driving on the new tires. Shot the attached video to try and get a look at...

I got some snow in the local mountains a few days back and I took my 99 2.5 up to play around in. It's a pretty mellow dirt road but there were a few puddles and some dust at the bottom where it was dry. When i hit the pavement i started hearing a squeaking noise which i had a good bit of...

After a cross country move a month back my automatic '04 6-cylinder started clicking from the front(at one point during the trip, I was traveling on a bumpy forest road and the vehicle simply stopped moving forward on its own. I was in 4WD at the time. I immediately turned off the vehicle and...

I've been looking through the forums for months and I've been unable to find someone who has the exact same issue as I have. The issue started initially when the vehicle was in 4-wheel drive and occurred much more with the wheels turning. However over time the clunk began as soon as the vehicle...

New in box. Carried these as spares before I upgraded my front axle shafts that use a 5-760X U-joint.

Hi All, So I'm in the market for a new front driveshaft for my 1999 Jeep 2.5l 4cyl. On all the websites I can only find front driveshafts for a 4.0 I know that the auto ds and the manual ds are different but are the 4.0 and 2.5 ds different. If anyone knows if the driveshafts are interchangeable...

Shortly after I had installed my Tom Wood front drive shaft, I came across an on-line forum thread that was started by a friend of mine. It dealt with his front CV drive shaft rebuild. Somewhere along the line, the discussion got around to u-joint grease and what was appropriate for the...

How do you know when that u-joint is bad? Is it about to go....will it go the next time out on the trail? Who knows? No one really does, but you can play the percentages a bit and figure out when it may be time to take a look at the u-joints on your vehicle. I do know that doing u-joint...

If you have read some of the other axle or drive shaft articles on this site, you have probably noticed that I use one of those hand little Harbor Freight (HF) U-Joint tools (they also do ball joints quite well too!) After having used one for more than a year, I ran into a u-joint task while...

I had picked up a set of D-30 inner and outer axle shafts from a friend in California when we wheeled the Rubicon together. Having gone to 35" tires during my last lift, I thought it would be prudent to carry a set, "just in case". It seems that when an axle u-joint goes, it often times takes...
