Universal joint replacement and U joint noise. Learn how to tell if your u joints are bad and how to replace u joints in this in-depth, how-to video that covers every aspect of u joint replacement! I show you the three symptoms of a bad u-joint, how to remove the driveshaft, and how to replace the universal joint with a press and a hammer.
Again, thanks Advance Auto Parts for providing all of those universal joints so I could make the video! Here is what I used:
High Strength U-Joints: goo.gl/u7YFKD
U-Joint Press: goo.gl/tvBZ92
U-Joint Grease: goo.gl/XWrKYu
Grease Gun: goo.gl/nfmph6

I cannot tell you how much money you have saved me and built my confidence when it comes to working on cars. I honestly used to just have my car serviced and I always got ripped off. Your videos and the great detail you put has helped me work on my own car. Your enthusiasm makes it really fun to work on and not a hassle when I have to maintain my vehicles. From your videos, I have been able to easily work on my Mazda RX8, Ford Explorer, and Jeep Compass. No longer will I have to spend thousands of dollars on mechanics when it will typically cost me less than 200 hundred and I learn something new. Thank you, Chris.

I was thinking more like knee or hip joint replacement surgery. I mean really, once you get over the aspect of working inside a human body it’s pretty mechanical use of tools etc. How hard can it be? Medical grade sawzall or Dremel to cut out the old part; drill some holes; titanium screws and bolts to install the new joint, lubrication. Done.

Oh, I think if Chris didn't edit his videos as much as he does, you'd find that it takes HIM a lot more than 22 minutes to see a project to completion. His brake fluid replacement video took probably an hour of prep before the camera even began rolling. He had the Mazda on no fewer than 4 jack stands and the differential was supported by a floor jack.

What I DIDN'T do when working on my U-joints is to mark the bolts to check for travel after a test ride. That's a fantastic idea! When I did it, I would tighten the bolts and then re-check the tightness after a day or two of driving. Loc-Tite is a must as well! Great video! Thanks for sharing! This week I'll be changing all the U-joints in my motorhome. Fun times. LOL Take care.

Your detailed video inspired me to revisit the u-joints on my 1960 Sprite. While I have the axle out for servicing all major seals, I had overlooked this part of the maintenance. The part about the grease displacement from the bearing boots is a great one because I had thought I was putting grease in, but on 2nd review the nipples needed to be freed from old dried grease. What gave me confidence that I could get grease in via the nipples was a test squirt with the gun before reinstalling. The final part being the grease that is displaced out the boot.. She looks ready for work now. Cheers!!

First time replacing a u joint and when I was done it was super tight. Watched this video and I’m super happy you added that note in hitting the driveshaft a few times. 👍

After doing a uj job I think I would recommend going back and greasing the joints after a bit of driving. The movement seems to allow you to pump quite a bit extra grease in there. You'll get driveline vibration all over again if there's insufficient grease for the long haul.

Wow! I was searching for a video that shows the correct way to do universal joints on a pickup truck and I found it here! My grandson replaced his universal joints on a 1990 something, Chevy S-10 pickup and he now has extreme vibration! He had no experience to do so, and got himself in a whole lot of trouble now. I understand, that his driveshaft is the type with a center bearing, which probably made it worse. He marked nothing before he started, not knowing the correct procedure. I will send him this video link. I don't know if he will be able to overcome this situation. This video here is absolutely perfectly done, the best I have seen so far on RU-vid in all respects!

He's back! :-) Outstanding video Chris. The same type of joints with clicking and clunking can also be found in your steering column. I replaced my intermediate shaft recently. I bet the road salt used in the winter got into those joints and helped make them worse.

thank you ! i’ve been plagued with a seized caliper & seized bleeders all around courtesy of my denali’s previous owner :) but then i heard that cyclic squeaking & knew it wasn’t my brakes & it wasn’t my hub… i’ve replaced my fair share of hubs… & this was different.. added the metal on metal clunk i heard as i pulled in my drive(not while shifting)& i knew it wasn’t my hub or brakes… i’ve had all the wheels, calipers, etc pulled for 4 days & been stuck in my work truck…. this video has literally helped beyond measure! sure enough, i’ve got 2 failed u joints. i would have had a few more headaches i’m sure had i not seen your video. (at least my calipers got a restore & bleeders extracted.. & a much needed brake flush!) thanks for taking the time to educate people about their vehicles. im self taught. & i love to learn more.
