So I had to beat the daylights out of my u-joints to get them out. The front shaft where theres two u-joints in one spot, the flange where it meets the transfer case...theres some sort of pivoting ball that both flanges axis on...somehow I ripped that apart. Either that or it was already munched. Am I screwed? This is the first time I've tackled u-joints and I'm hoping this doesn't mean I need a new drive shaft.
If it's the front driveshaft then yes you and I are scewed. I took mine apart and it's over $100 to get it fixed. I haven't done anything to it but if you figure something out tell me!
Ya it was my thread, you can buy the knuckle from 4x4 parts for $110, or you can take it to a drive shaft shop and have them fix it for $125ish. I'm just going to jam it back together

And then when it fails in the middle of when you need it, you will be taking to a shop. And spending more money. And it's Quad4x4, I also showed you the parts were available separate.
Ya I agree it's not the best idea but I only use 4wd when doing light offroading. I cant justify spending that much. I saw those parts but I need a machine press and I don't have that.
