Re: U-Joint Replacement

That is very useful information, thank you. I've watched a few tutorials on youtube in replacing the carrier bearing. I see that it is possible to put into place with a hammer. Is this a decent way of doing it or would you recommend bringing the shafts to a shop and have them press it on?

looking at your center support you can see how well the cheap one lasts.
and napa sells it for $20 check napa for the u joints too.
the one for $75 is the best one made . I recommend it .
you wont have to keep replacing it like the cheap ones.
I have 2 of the $75 ones in use now with stick shift transmissions .
I would never use the $25 kind with a stick shift trans . they wont last very long at all .
i have built a lot of 58 to 64 chevy cars and trucks with the 2 piece drive shafts .
$75 is a good price with the free shipping , i payed more for mine .
