#1 Swap out the rearend or
#2 Change the the gears in the rear end.

Have you had your U joints apart. There isn't much you can see from the outside. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 71 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 71 | No I didn't take them apart. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 452 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2003 Posts: 452 | Ujoints are fairly cheap. If yours are old and something clunks, you have to open them to check them. Might as well put in new ones and know you won't need to worry about them for a long time.
Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice) \'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run. My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.
