Just replace the U-joint. $10 to $20 worth of parts. Bill probably has
a link to a pictorical of the process. Beware that getting the hub out
of the steering knuckle can be a RPITA, especially if you live in the
salted roads country. Shop labor should be under 2 hours unless they
have problems with the hub.

When I take out the shaft, I need to replace the axlew seal? That's a pain.
