Reply to "Spicer half shafts"

Jack,

When I push up and down on the rear of my car I can hear a clicking noise. I'm not sure but it sounds like it might be coming from one of the half-shafts or U-joints. Any ideas?

Frequent inspections of the u-joint caps for a shiny circle under the snap-rings is a sure sign of the cap rotating due to siezure of the needle bearings. Red rust at the seal area of the cross is another sure sign. U-joint breakage soon follows. Greasing such a u-joint does nothing to prevent disasterous breakage, as there's flat-spotted or missing needles inside the cap & grease won't replace missing metal.[/B]
