Thumbs up Re: Driveshaft Repaair - Phoenix AZ?

Thanks! I've added them to my list of places to call.

I drove the truck home of surface streets. When I arrived I pulled the creeper out and rolled under for inspection.

The forward joint is good. The intermediate joint has some play. The read joint have considerable play, a few degrees worth!

Also, the carrier mount is bad. The rubber has sagged causing the shaft to sit low in it. The bearing is still good (not seized, still rotates.)

Note: What I write "good" I don't mean "doesn't need replacing". I intend to have all u-joints replaced along with the carrier bearing and mount.
