that thread briefly addresses the extension trick

 

 

Thanks Jomps, I looked a little myself and didn't find it. It's about 7-1/2 minutes into the video, he's using a 3 inch extension rear of the axle. Appriciate that, I need to pull my axles soon.

 

yeah man, my ujoint on driver side is shot, has so much play im not driving it till its fixed, was popping all down the road so ive been researching

cheers

 

I guess mine is different with the disco, has clicked and clacked turning hard in 4WD for a very long time. It's been mostly OK cruisen in 2WD, was hearing a tick when I'd go past a guard-rail or something to reflect the sound. Now it's a little worse...guess since I'm wondering what happens if something really goes there, I should get after it!

 

I have a link for you guys, there is a guy selling the heavy duty greeseable spicer u joints for 20 bucks and some change each! They are good peeps spoke to them on the phone
