    Okay, thanks, Ill look into it. Do people just normally replace the two u joints? One of mine is bad.

    There's also a cv joint...not sure if i should touch that. Also, a center support bearing near the cv joint boot, should I replace that as well?

    Okay, thanks man.

    I am going to replace all u joints. Is it worth getting the Spicer brand or can I go to auto zone and get their joints. Normally, I never go to auto zone to buy parts...but I'm at college at need to replace this damn joint...driving me crazy

    Symptoms: Squealing and clicking toward the rear of the truck usually when i let off the gas. I have a 6 speed man trans.

    Got underneath the truck and there is some play right near the rear u joint. Looks pretty rusted as well.

    Well guys, I put the three u joints in and now I am having a vibration through a wide range of speeds...

    Should i have the drive shaft balanced? I'm almost positive that I installed all bearings correctly.
