hello so i have a question with my truck on some noises etc... my drive shaft keeps making noises because my u-joints keep going out in a period of about 3weeks.. i have about a 4in body lift and when i turn my truck there is like a weird clicking noise in my rear end that wont go away till i straighten my truck out.. anyways everytime i replace my u-joint the noise goes away even when i start to coast etc.. but after about 3weeks i cant coast or shift without a loud clunking noise which is when i u-joint goes out again...

anyways thanks for all the help

is there a spool or welded spider gears in the back

Check your drive shaft angles and make sure that your shaft is not bent. There is something seriously wrong if your going through a u joint every 3 weeks.

not sure what a spool or welded spider gears are and ask for the angle of the drive shaft its at a pretty good slant

way to test if you have a spool or welded rear end.

find a parking lot.
come to a stop
turn the steering wheel as hard as it can to either left or the right
give it gas.

what does the inside rear tire do? make all kinds of churping sounds? its welded or spooled. make all kinda of popping / ratching sounds? its locked, do nothing? its open
