U joint
My U joint went dry and is popping in my pass side front axel. Im trying to price the parts but what it looks like is I cant replace just the U joint. They're telling me I have to buy the whole axle. Can I not just replace the u joint. Any body had any experience with this. My jeep is an 01

you deff can replace just the ujoint , go to auto zone and tell them you need an axel ujoint , if you wanna order one id get the spicer 760x its around 30 bucks a peice as apposed to the autozone ones wich are about 15

Well they are universial joints , he just typed that in the computor and it came up axles or driveshaft
|
Most of the parts counter people at Autozone used to be counter people at McDonalds. NAPA is usually a better choice, or a locally owned parts house with old timers workin the counter work out best too.
|
If you do go to autozone, look up your part numbers first on autozone.com. Usually saves some headach. I think napa's parts are better anyway, But if you can wait till a weekday got for a OE u-joint from the dealer. Origional Equipment is usually a little better, and you dont want to have to do those again.
|
Or go to Advance and ask to speak to the parts pro, these guys are usually retired mechanics. or cut all the crap and order the spicer
|
have you taken it apart yet? some come with CV style axles?
|
look behind the hub if there's a rubber boot around the "u-joint" its a cv-driveshaft if you can see the joint its a u(niversal)-joint. my local advance auto couldnt get me a spicer, they offered me a "rock buster" or something like that, no grease fitting on it. back to the shelf it went bough the $20 one with a grease fitting, regular lubrication will make them last alot longer
