Bad vibrations.....U joints?
« on: December 15, 2006, 12:39:23 PM »
The 89 kick is doing some pretty noticable vibrating both in and out of gear.....also some chirping......odd.  Its got about 93k miles on it.....engine seems to run smoothly, I am pretty sure it is a driveline issue.

I figured the u joints would be a good place to start, so how do I determine if they are bad, and where might I get my hands on some new ones?

Thanks

Just get underneath and push/pull the props about near the UJs. If theres any play then they're shot
