Today was the third time that I've thrown a drive shaft in the last five months. Rear U-joints are starting to become expensive. 90 xj with 245000 miles.
This is my DD so any advice or ideas would be helpful. No I am not using u-bolts I'm using those little tab thingies. Luckily, I have a couple of old drive shafts around so all I have to do is replace the one that came off with another one. Then when I get a chance I put a new U-joint in the broke one. How do you tell if the drive shaft is balanced if you don’t feel or hear any vibration? (Note when it drops out the bottom, I have no way of knowing which way it was suppose to go back in.)
Thanks ahead of time but at 20-25 bucks a wack. As I said U-Joint are getting expensive.
