My front drive shaft has bad VIBES at high speed 70mph 3000rpm abouts. I pulled it and went for a test drive, VIBES gone.
I've had the lift for years and it's always had VIBES, but I think it's the stock shaft. It's a little more noticeable now because I'm a 4.56 gears so I get VIBES at lower speed, same rpm...
How smooth should the double cardan/ centering ball section rotate. Is this difficult to replace with out a vice?
Ive replaced all other xj u joints but never centering ball and such.
Do drive shaft themselves wear Out?
194000, I checked for play, the cardan feels kinda notchy and at this point I don't want to explode all that crap until I know if it's worth digging into vs new/ modified current shaft cost.
Whatchyall got for wisdom?
Thank you
