now that i've moved and settled in...my dad and i have come to the conclusion that it's time to end the funky noises from my car (clicking @ full turn, heavy whine from shaft).
I've read how other users purchased parts from CDan...
are there any decent dealers or shops that will correctly do a birfield replacement/repack job in southern california? I'm in the South Bay area in Torrance. As much as i'd like to tackle it in our garage, if there is a shop that will do it right i'd go for that route (me and my dad aren't idiots...but we've never opened up a 4x4 front axle dealy before)
my question now is this... if i was to do it at home..
1. exactly what parts and tools do i need?
2. how long does it take?
3. how much will it cost (parts & tools)
4. Are there any users in the area who are willing to come and make sure i'm not @%$#ing my car up? (food is a given...no however)
if i take it to a shop...
1. how long does it take
2. how much does it cost?
3. Where is a good shop? (my mechanic doesn't even know what a birf is....hence my search for one that does..)
and another thing...
i've got a "heavy" whine coming from my driveshaft...it's especially noticeable when i'm slowing down, and speeding up.
a cherokee owner said i would have to replace the U-joints. is that the case?
if so....how much does THAT cost? (just the parts)
