CV Joint Repair question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

'72 Chevy Suburban · 03-19-2005, 06:56 PM

The U-Joint on the LF axle in my '77 K10 is shot, which explains why there has been a squeaking noise coming from that corner as I make a turn. It looks to be pretty tight in there and I am wondering if there is enough room for me to replace this U-Joint without doing some major disassembly. What is the best way to approach this? I hope to get the work done this weekend.

BTW, I verified that the U-Joint was shot by rotating the tire and watching the joint. There was obvious slop between the cap and the cross.

Thanks,
