Took my front and rear driveshafts in to have new u-joints pressed in since I don't have access to a press. Shop says both shafts are shot. Mostly due to rust in slip joints. What are my options? Recommendations?
Most of the shafts I've had apart have a blue plastic cover over the male slip joint. Also u can still buy the slip joins from spicer. If u want to rebuild the shafts.
FWIW, I got a rebuilt front driveshaft from Rock auto for like $250. Slip joint froze on me, and centering ball on the double cardian was shot....to fix it all would have been more than that.
Front slip is frozen. Maybe I can heat it up and shock cool with water to unfreeze it? Plastic on rear driveshaft is all chewed up. Is that replaceable?
Getting this thing back together and trans/transfer case are in. Any recommendations for rear driveshaft? One piece? I don't have a lift and just daily drive/tow
