    Rebuilt my drive shaft. Had a squeak while in reverse and traced it to my rear-most u-joint. Went with Moog greaseable u joints and SKF carrier bearing.

    New Parts

    Started with the carrier bearing

    Found the source of the squeak!

    And appearantly you can bust bearing caps by pushing the cross too hard!:eek: replaced it with a new cap and good to go!

    Un-derped my front valence. Thought it would look better now that I have a color-matched grille.
