1987 rear end squeak

<< < (2/2)

Ausrs:
Very true hearing it however I do not think would have helped !!

I took the rear end apart and fitted new shocks as the old ones were dead and had a good look around and the uni joints in the half shafts were buggered,

The worst one had no roller bearings in it and the next worst had a cup full of red dust and was almost impossible to turn by hand. Quick trip to the local Hardy Spicers in Newcastle and home with 4 brand 

spanking new joints, Its all back together now,will double check all bolts tomorrow and test drive

The worst part of the uni joints was that there were no symptoms,no vibrations,nothing to give a clue there was a problem apart from a squeak when the car was cold

Ausrs:


Great tutorial on the easy way to remove half shafts
