97 Jeep Wrangler Replacing U Joints and balancing Drive Shaft

[@coachbiggsremedy9634]

I'm working on this as well lol. Rebuilt and balanced drive shaft but still vibrates at 55 ugh. Awesome video again 👊 I love how you didn't use a press

Thanks!

Steve I wondered why you didn't just replace the worn bushings and when I looked at the cost just 20.00 more to just swap out the whole thing. Not worth the trouble..... your a smart man Steve ! I'm going to throw a little more money at it and get adjustable ones with rubber bushings and adjustable ball joints to be able to really dial in the alignment . Your jeep turned out so good.

Thanks a lot William! Good luck. Adjustable is the way to go. I have too much I JJ as it is lol.

@@ForceBuilt I put this commit on the wrong video .....it changed on me. I do like the way you balanced the front shaft in this video very clever I had watched this one before . I will probably put crazy money in mine but I want it the way I want it and my son-in-law will get it one day and I'm sure he will enjoy it long after I'm gone.

Well done and glad to see that you are solving the problems that are presented to you. In 2020 your Jeep will end up being perfect. Happy new year and my best wishes for you.

Kriol when only the best works. Stuff is high, but I keep a can on hand all the time.

[@ForceBuilt]

Yeah, the Kriol works wonders!

I have the front shaft out at the moment, replaced the front u joint ,but wondering, what is a symptom that shows the rear u joints of the front shaft, are bad ?

[@ForceBuilt]

Just Real sloppy movement. Hold the shaft and try and move(with a twisting motion) the double part of the driveshaft side to side(The big end). If it moves much at all side to sidethe u-joints need replaced. Thanks for watching!

Safety first. Where's your jack stands?

[@ForceBuilt]

The only 2 I have were at the front where my head is. They were there just off camera. And just a floor jack in the back that you can see on camera. Thanks for noticing and you are right, I did need 2 more lol. Thanks for the comment!
