Drive Shaft U-Joint Replacement 

One of the better u joint installation videos. I am a driveline technician and usually watch these videos for a good laugh. One thing to watch out for on those Spicer joints is there is a thrust washer in each cap. Make sure they stay in the cap. If one sticks to the trunion and you get 2 in one cap and none on the other side it will shake like a m-fer.

Sincere thanks from a UK Cherokee XJ owner, thanks to your video I got both UJs changed on the driveshaft. Hard work, but your clear demonstration made it straight forward and achievable - I'd have had no chance on my own!! Thanks so much, videos like this and others give more information and experience than a thousand paper manuals!

I know this is 3 years old but i wanted to say thanks. Great tip on placing x to match shaft. Thanks man!

Your videos have been a godsend in overhauling my jeep, thanks a bunch.

Your videos are the most helpful ones I’ve found for my plethora of Jeep repair DIY needs. Oh, also.. if you’d like to get married I’m so down.

Thanks for sharing this. The other video I looked at, started with the driveshaft already out. I appreciate you starting from the beginning for someone, like me, that has never done this before. So, again, THANK YOU.

excellent rep. nice steady video. like when u speed up video for certain parts ! everyone should follow ur style !!

I will be doing u-joints for the first time in the jeep I just bought, this video helps alot man.

thank you. just broke one on my way home. thought it was gonna be alot more work but this video was very informative and helpful.

Drive Shaft U-Joint Replacement - EXCELLENT VIDEO.

excellent rep. nice steady video. like when u speed up video for certain parts ! everyone should follow ur style. also you talked about the part and only that which make the video even better ...did have a whole story that had nothing to do with what you were fixing awesome

Well done and I saw the tape holding the loose u-joint caps on till you were ready to assemble !

You made it look easy. Thanks RT

Good job Bro. I Subscribed your Channel From India

Exactly the tutorial I need. Tks for sharing, bro..

Great job young man.

Dude. Very good and informative video! How long can you drive with bad U Joints? I just started getting the vibrations about 4 days ago and probably cant afford to get it worked on for another 7 days. Will I be okay driving you thinking ?!

What pipe size did you use to hammer out the U joint?

10:30 you got the right stickers on that thing for sure

Picking up a 95 Jeep Cherokee XJ, I’m towing it with a tow dolly and I need to remove the rear drive shaft, does the car need to be in neutral for me to remove it?

Fantastic video!

I replace the U-joints on my 94 Dodge Dakota and the axle is set up the same way as that truck I was just wondering did you use the c clips after you put the bolts back on? Or does that bracket with the 3/8 bolts hold the cap with the bearings in there? With the Loctite

Great video .. ....well done One question what is the u joint that has the little bolts with the u shaped fasteners on It Called IS there a specific name for it ?

I've taken the 8mm bolts out ,but the drive shaft wont move back and out ,,help pls

It's very informative thanks

Great job bud .Thanks God bless u

The I joint that I bought came with c clips am I suppose to use these or no?

Nice vid

I want to remove the rear drive shaft as its buggered and just use the front one would this work ?

Don’t hammer directly on your drive shaft. It may cause imbalance. Make sure it’s always supported and you hammer on the u joint

thanks this helped alot

Made it look so easy

I'm gonna U joint your drive shaft ;)

That's it? haha, I'm about to do it. You could put the transfer case in neutral to spin the driveshaft and not move the vehicle. Cheers!

Thaaaanks for helpin me!

What year is your jeep

So when you take out the the driveshaft from the yoke, not ATF will come out???

If you jack up the front so the tires are off the ground you can line it up better. 👍

Great vid....thanks.

Great job- thanks

you are really good.

brotha. your good. i lov yor video

Mark the U joint before disassembly makes it much easier to put it back together.

Muy bueno no video pero no entendi loque esplico pregunta mi jeep es 1989 y muy seguido se me sale la flecha del diferencial me gustaria saber porque pasa

How many miles on your xj? Interested to know how long the stock ones lasted.

Exellent thank you great vídeo

Were those original u-joints ??

Thanks for the video helped a lot ima subscribe to your channel👍🏽 I lol do that to my 79 z28

gracias

Awesome vid.

What are the symptoms that identifies to change this item ? I’m curious due to my truck shaking from 40 to 70 mph on the highway and I can’t find out why it shakes . I’ve replaced my shocks/struts front and rear, also balanced and rotated my tires but I still have this horrible shake between those speeds , could my ujoints be the reason for this ?

You need a bigger hammer. But excellent video none the less.

Have you replaced the u-joints on the front driveshaft?

how much grease did you put in them?

chock the front wheels and put the rear on jacks stands, vehicle in neutral. Easy peasy lineup

THANK YOU

Is this th same for a 2000 suburban

or you could just put the jeep in neutral so you can spin the drive shaft. that way you don't have to take off the parking brake.

thx nice video, wearing thin gloves would add a nice touch

500 labor in my town .hell nah to that thanks bro

I’m wondering how much it cost to replace that

You should go to the badlands its fun or flat nasty

Also instead of using a hammer and beating your sockets up use a ball joint press simple and faster

I can’t pull off drive shaft

Your damn lucky not to live in the rust belt.

..AND MAKE SURE YOU KEEP YOUR SAFETY GLASSES ON THE BENCH NEXT TO YOU INSTEAD OF WEARING THEM THAT WAY SOMETHING LIKE A SPRING WASHER CAN TAKE YOUR EYE OUT 😆

Should not use a steel hammer.

Easier with a press. Rookies

I don't think described the tools you'll need that well

Thanks for the help!!
