Ok, so here's the situation. My dealership when going over my jeep when it was in for the recalls, said that the u-joints were worn and needing replacing soon. Of course, these aren't exactly cheap.
Well, at the wreckers yesterday, I found two brand new u-joints, which I believe at least at simple look is for the front wheels, which I need. The rod bearings and everything look fine, and the new gease still on them etc. The only thing is they have some surface rust is all, which I can easily clean off. [One has virutally none, the other has noticeably some but when cleaned down doesn't seem to be bad at all]
If these are infact the right ones I need, can I clean the surfact rust, and they'll be fine? or will there be some other problem I need to know about? If these are for the driveline instead, and they're ok, I'll just clean and keep them until needed.
Thanks for any help. I just don't know enough and don't want to use if there's definitely a reason they could give a safety problem at all.
