U-Joints For Rear Driveshaft?

[phattyduck]

Developed an odd vubration in my 01 2wd a week ago today. Made it home and got it to the shop today. Rear u joint tagged, ¼ of play in it. They are dealing the u jobs, front and rear of the shaft tomorrow. Going with Moog Precision greaseable replacements. Don't know the total cost yet but I'm assuming a 2 hours shop time and roughly 60/75 for the joints, so around 200 or so total. I hope.

If the vibration is there after getting new joints, you need a whole new rear driveshaft. The 2WD shaft has a rubber isolated inner/outer tube design that wears out with time which can't be repaired.

Vibration issue SOLVED

The local shop replaced both the front and rear u joints with Moog Precision units today. Only the rear was shot but I figure I may as well replace both at the fans time.

Tiotal cost $163. Vibration gone. Now I can grease the joints as needed. 140k miles on the 01 SR5 2wd at the time of failure...

Thankful for this forum and its wealth of knowledge.
