Front drive shaft noise
Hey jeepers. I had a bad u joint on the front of my front drive shaft (pinion side). I replaced the u joint but it was extremely stiff after I installed it. I tried a few taps on the shaft with a hammer and it loosened up a bit but it's still quite stiff. When I installed the shaft back in I get a thunk from the drive shaft when in 4wd. Mainly when I'm accelerating. I removed the shaft and ran it in 4wd and no noise and the noise wasn't there before replacing the joint. My question is would the u joint being stiff cause this noise and if so how do I fix it?
