Re: Squealing Front Drive Shaft
Ok.........The squeal is gone...
I took it to the dealer this morning, I took it with the intent to stand my
ground and have this squeal dealt with once and for all....
The service manager first told me, that if he takes it apart, to find it
packed with mud that he never wants to see my Jeep again!
I told him that I have avoided mud like the plague.
I even passed on an opportunity this week to settle a score with a trail,
that's mud hole swallowed my Jeep during the Jeep Jamboree this spring....
Anyhow...I stood firm...telling him that this is not a MUD issue...
after a half hour in the waiting room they called me to tell me that they
had to order a new cardan joint and it should be in next week...the first
thing that came to my head was...OMG...I HAVE to wheel Sunday..we're
clearing a new trail and was looking forward to running it.... but then on
the way hame...I wasn't 5 minutes from the shop and I wanted to turn around
and go back to thank them for finally listening to me and actually doing
something... I'm soooo happy...no squeal.,....I have taken alternate routes
where I know ppl won't hear my squealing Jeep comin down the road.....it has
been a LOUD squealing curse all summer. and YES it was the Cardan
Joint...they told me that it was bad. =)
