Re: [AMC-List] 83 Spirit u-joint question.

["Glenn Ford" <gcmford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jack, if the u-joint fits the driveshaft ok, but is slop-fit in the yoke, 
you probably have a driveshaft from a different model, or the rear end has 
been changed out. Your trip to Autozone should tell you which by the size of 
the correct u-joint.

Myself, I just changed out a u-joint that had broken needle bearings because 
previous owner did not put one cap behind the tab, probably because one 
needle fell to the bottom of the cup before installing. Ran ok, but slightly 
out of balance. I didn't think anyone could mess up like that, without being 
pretty drunk or stoned when installing it.

I've seen a lot, but not everything, yet. Hoping not to find any more 
surprises on my Eagle. Still have to fix where someone welded crossmember 
instead of repairing the broken  stud in sub-frame.
