Bump

sounds like u-joints to me.

Yea. The whole driveshaft isnt the problem, its the U-joints if anything. They connect the driveshaft to the axle.
|
Shake the driveshaft up and down and side to side at the u-joint on the tranny/t-case, then do the same on the axle side. Whichever moves, needs a new u-joint. If ones worn might as well replace both. They are cheap for driveshafts.

Well you didn't say which driveshaft. With a lift on the new IFS trucks the front "driveshaft" normally doesn't last long.
|
sry i should have specified, but ya so it looks like i need to get the new one, thanks for the help!
|
No problem. I would definately buy the superlift driveshaft. I've read alot on the stock one's wearing out after a superlift/rcd lift is installed. Hope that fixes your problem.
