ujoint breaking??!?!?
hey guys
well I think my rear transfer case side ujoint is on its way out, which is why I hear popping and bad vibration sounds.... now i just did my rear lift recently and am putting in my front lift in 1 week.... ever since the back went up the 4 or so inches I have had a problem. I am kinda thinking since the front is down and the back is up, this would increase the angle on that ujoint would it not? I have never heard of others having ujoint problems with just a 4 inch lift. so axle guys let me know what I should do.... buy a new ujoint? get a wrecker one? ar get a new drive shaft??? hell I dont know really... thanks

how to tell
ok thanks wabbit, how can I tell.... I grabbed onto the thing and wiggled it, and it seemed a little loose, which is what gave me the idea that was the problem in the first place. it didnt move like 1/2 an inch or anything , but it definately moved somewhat. the other ujoints dont move at all so I figured that was it. hey wabbit side question, can I get your stuff in canada?

Prices on the website are to the 48 states...Canada is a bit more on shipping that it all. Let me know what you are interested in via email/PM and get me an addy and I can do you a quote.
Thanks.

Another way to tell is to remove the 8 bolts (4 from the front yoke, 4 from the rear) and drop the driveshaft out, then drive around in 4WD. If the noise goes away, probably your rear U-joints. I did both of mine for around $70 CDN.

ya its only the top one, but i guess I could do em both,..... the bottom one is fine cause I got longer upper control arms so there is not angle on the joint at all.... the top one is at about 30 degrees I would guess. good idea on the taking it off and driving around.. i will try that this weekend
