More on the U-joint play
So, I stopped driving the Jeep ASAP on 12/23 when the u-joint play I
mentioned late last month suddenly became a loud clunk, noticeable when starting from a dead stop or lifting off the throttle at freeway speed. Looks like Carl and nrs were right on the money; the U-joint was indeed shot... http://www.mukyj.com/images/U-JointFailure.jpg That grinch Mr. Rust pilfered my bearings right before Christmas! Not to worry, though: Santa put a pair of new NAPA greaseable u-joints in my stocking, which were successfully installed today. -- ~/Garth - 1993 Wrangler S 2.5 { }|||||||{ } "MukYJ" |

Ah, the price we pay for the failure to include a simple, $0.10 grease fitting on the U joint! Don't you just love it when the maker leaves off the grease fitting, and says: "maintenance free"? |

Glad it was a cheap fix. :-)
