U joints again.
Well my u joint in the rear was not bad as I suspected, but what I
found was a strap was loose. It was allowing the shaft to move
laterally. Took it to the mechanic, he said u joint was fine. Bearings
were good. He said to center it in the yoke upon reinstallation. There
are tabs or stops to contain the bearing caps on either side of the
yoke, but it is not a tight fit. How can you center it? There is about
1/16" gap. If not centered, won't it vibrate?
Thanks,
Greg

Re: U joints again.
The caps should fit tight. If they don't, there isn't enough grease in the
joint. Grease it up real good through the grease nipple and put the caps
on.. You'll have to compress the caps with your hand just to get 'em to fit.
If the joint doesn't have a grease fitting, it's probably original so go
ahead and replace it anyway. Better to learn in your garage at home then on
the side of the road.

Hey Carl, thanks. My mechanic said there wasn't enough grease in them
so he put some in for me. I put it back together and there is a gap.
If I loosen the straps, I can move it laterally. I cannot center it.
Also mine do not have grease fittings. It will be out one way or the
other about 1/16" Should I take it off again, remove the bearing caps
and pack it full? I cant get new ones till next week and I need to
drive it. After I put it back on the first time, not knowing to center
it, I went for a test drive and was still getting some vibration.

Re: U joints again.
Pack it with enough grease to take out that 1/16" gap and put it back on.
The cross piece will center itself within that 1/16" difference so long as
the caps are tight against the stops.
