So my jeep is making noise and hopping in turns more and more.

So i checked the wheel u joints and there toast tons of play in them so going to replace them this weekend.

I just have a question before i start doing this other then replacing the wheel u joints is there anything else you guys replace when your doing them the brakes and rotors are good so i dont have to worry about those.

Just wondering if there is a seal when i pull the axle shaft out the needs to be replace when doing this or anything else.

 

replace the ujoint and check the ball joints if they are loose at all replace them while you have every thing apart
don't mess with the seal unless its leaking its way down inside so be careful removing and replacing the shafts
