So I engage my 4 wheel drive for some fun on the weekend and I get a bad knocking sound from the front drive shaft. So I just popped it out to check the U joints and they all look fine. But what I did find was that ball inside the cardan? joint moves around which I think is causing the problem. Any ideas? thanks

Cardan joints like u-joints can wear out, i don`t know if there rebuildable or not, because ive never had one go bad, yet.
