Re: U joints.
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.
