Guest Anonymous Posted November 2, 2000 Share Posted November 2, 2000 I've recently done my UJs. In my case, I was hearing a sort of clicking/creaking sound as the car would move off from stand-still. You didn't need to do a hard start to hear it, a v. slow one would do. In fact, a slow start, window open, made it easier to hear... I put the car up on a jack and then tried to move the shafts up and down right near the UJ (both inner and outer) by hand. The outers had slight movement, the inners were OK. I pulled the shafts out and dissassembled them and sure enuf the outers were dry and stuffed but the inners might have lasted a bit longer. But, while they're out.... I guess a side note is that occasional greasing might have helped 'em last longer in my case (blush).... Hope that helps.
