U joints.
 

How can I tell when I need to replace my rear u joint on my 95 YJ? Any
visible signs? I am noticing some unexplained vibration.

Thanks,

Greg

Greg,

Unexplained vibes is a big indicator. Block the wheels and climb under
there. Rotate the shaft back and fourth and look for slop in the joints.
It's $10 for two new joints and takes around 10-15 minutes to change for an
experianced person, 45 for a first-timer. They probably need it.

Hi Carl. Thanks for the advice. Makes sense. My other question is
then, I just bought an 86 XJ and with it the guy threw in 4 brand new
u joints!! Are they universal to Jeeps, say YJ to XJ ?
