u-joint

A couple of weeks ago I was driving with the windows down and noticed a squeaking sound under 40mph. I heard it again today and went under the truck to check. I noticed that the driveshaft u joint bearing seals look worn and it looks like the grease in them leaked out. I’m taking it to the shop...

Hello, everyone. I have just replaced both rear driveshaft u-joints on a 2005 4x4 Explorer V6 (it had some of the symptoms, like clunking when engaging Reverse). I installed the heavy duty non-greasable Spicer ones recommended by RockAuto, and I used a ball joint press. After re-installing the...

The U-joint (not sure if that is proper name) on my 1995 Ford Ranger, in the four-wheel-drive section seems to have gone bad. The one I’m talking about is a U-joint that goes from a shaft from the pumpkin towards the left side of the vehicle as you’re looking at the front of the vehicle. It’s...

How long do the u-joints last in a 3 gen 4.6L 4x4 explorer? I seached, but did find much on u-joints. We have about 106K miles on our 2003 Explorer Limited 4x4 with the 4.6L.

I'm purchasing a 1997 V8 Ford Explorer for the first time. It has 208,000 miles on it and runs very good (the seller says). He mentioned that the front drive shaft has been removed and he 'thinks' it was because of a U-joint problem. I'm hoping that is the case and that it's not a transfer case...

Ok, so I just got the front end mostly apart, on my '93 Ranger, 4x4, in order to do the '95-'97 brake upgrade, and do new ball joints, etc.. I replaced all the u-joints a couple years ago,with Duralast Gold non-greasable parts, in the front outer axle shafts. When I just pulled them out, one...
