I cannot seem to get any more life out of all my 4 u-joints for any longer then 6 months/ 5000 miles.
I have tried all kinds of brands, even original U joints. All the same, after 5000 miles they have play on them again, starting to make noise. I use good grease, grease them every now and then. They do have a bit of play on the slipjoint.
My 80 is lifted 3 - 4 inch, I have no caster correction, but I have friends with even taller lifts without caster correction and no one seems to have this problem.
No mentionable vibrations noticable.
What to look for?
Throw the driveshafts in the bin and buy new ones? Try caster correction front, and rear 11mm extend lower arms?
I cannot think of any other solutions? What do you guys think? I really have enough of replacing the ujoints.
