I am pretty sure my front right u-joint is bad. I kept hearing a rattling noise coming from the front end. I took my wheel off today and the u-joint was defenetly bad. I could move back and forth, and when I spun the rotor in made the noise I was hearing. I did a seach here, but all I could find were people asking about the noise and others saying that bad u-joints were probably the problem. Has any one changed there u-joints? It doesn't seem to difficult if you have the right tools. If any one has any info or links that would be great!

 

this is pretty close to the front axle we have in our trucks it tells u how to do it but u dont have to take off the axel nut u only have to if u want to get to the wheel bearing and sometimes when u try topull off the asembily that is where the wheel nut is its rlly hard but give it a shot http://www.stu-offroad.com/axle/d30/axle-1.htm

 

Thanks for that tid bit man. Now I have to decide if and when I want to do it. Wonder how much a shop would charge?[sm=yikesomg.gif]
