Sqealing After Replacing U-Joints
Hey there,
I just replaced the u-joints on the drive shaft from the t-case to the front diff, before I installed the drive shaft in to my truck I check to make sure it wasn't super stiff or binding on anything. It wasn't realy stiff but it moved pretty freely just very slightly stiff. Any ideas?
Thanks

Yes I took a grease gun to it, I was hoping it would have the grease nipples on each cap and not just in one spot between two of the caps. As well as now I get like a WHOOP every time I drive it but only when i get above 70KM.Also on the front diff the rubber boot coming off it where the front drive shaft where the drive slides into the there was a zip tie i cut off to slide the drive shaft out, could it be that I may have put that zip tie a bit to tight?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hmmm...
I will let someone that's more familiar with it chime in.
I suppose you could try, but I can't picture in my head where you're talking about.

your not going to get a zip tie tighter than the band clamp that was originally on the prop shaft.
in 2wd the front prop shaft isn't driven; so your noise only happens in 4wd correct?
What year truck and what t-case would be helpful?

I did check the rear drive shaft and the u-joints are fine and look fairly new as well. No it was not not there until i replaced the front u-joins.
