rear DS bind XJ/w 242 and 8 1/4

tchase · Oct 26, 2005

Noticed when we had the country on the hoist saturday night that the rear DS binds quite badly at the front joint at full droop. Is this common to the 242 and 8 1/4 combo or is there an issue somwhere. I check the shaft on the limited with 242 and d35 and it's got tonnes of clearance. Anyone ever encountered this and should I be worried about chucking the shaft?

Sounds like dried out U-Joints.

No, I mean the ears of the driveshaft are binding against the ears of the yoke. The joint is fine. This is a bad thing, yes?

Have you had it off? If not the you don't know if the U-Joint are bad or not.
I really don't understand your question.
