How involved is replacing the U-Joints, I've never done this and I'm not
real experienced on working on cars? Anyone besides the big three to look at
purchasing them from?
Marty, I just replaced the 4 u-joints on my '74... not too difficult of a job.
I'd recommend pulling the shoes, makes the job easier; I'd also check the condition/
tightness of the 6 trailing arm studs, but not too tight!. I wound up getting Hardy-Spicer
u-joints from TRF on sale, and I had a local drive-line shop put them on the half-shafts...
what do I know about installing them? They charged a nominal fee; well worth it in my
estimation. You should have the Bentley manual to walk you thru this. Get new boot covers
and gaiters as well.
Now, as far as the u-joints on the driveshaft .....
Best, Kevin Browne
