The u joints seem fine. Possible to center ball that is "dry". Gonna switch em all out though. Don't need front dS for a lil since warm weather is here and no more snow and ice.

Not happy removing it but can't take the grenading chance. The sparrow got more pissed off plus started feeling more of a vibration under the pedal that has now gone with the removal of the ds. I'm hoping to get it back within 2 wks, just got 18 and 1 bills that need to be done by the first week of April. The worst is my reg. damn ny and paying 144

Today, I looked at my crappy axle u joints which don't make any noise but are definitely attempting to bind. Then I sighed heavily, knowing that I have to drive 180 miles tomorrow morning for work.
