U- Joints
I just put a new U joint in my drive shaft and it seems very stiff. Is this normal? Does it loosen up a bit after its been used bit?

Re: U- Joints
mine were tight for a while even with grease and its pretty normal .. as long as you can move them by hand its not too tight

Re: U- Joints
Think of it this way---either good or bad---They WILL loosen up after going down the road for a short while. It is only the amopunt of time in use that will be affected.
