front driveshaft u-joint slop
Ok. I just put on new Z1 differential bushings. The old one were getting really bad. Now that the differential is nice and tight, I realize that the front u-joint has a lot of sloppy play in it. It is also making a loud clunking noise too now.
My research has shown me that the entire driveshaft must be replaced to fix this issue. So my question is, has anyone alternative fix? And is this a reoccurring problem with these cars? Also, is it a good idea to replace the driveshaft with a used one? Any help will be greatly appreciated. |

I've heard of worn u joints. Sucks too because I haven't heard about any replacement u joints, just the whole shaft... Stupid as all he11. My u joints felt a little notchy at 15k miles, so I'm a little worried about long term.
