Universal joint replacement and U joint noise. Learn how to tell if your u joints are bad and how to replace u joints in this in-depth, how-to video that covers every aspect of u joint replacement! I show you the three symptoms of a bad u-joint, how to remove the driveshaft, and how to replace the universal joint with a press and a hammer.
Again, thanks Advance Auto Parts for providing all of those universal joints so I could make the video! Here is what I used:
High Strength U-Joints: goo.gl/u7YFKD
U-Joint Press: goo.gl/tvBZ92
U-Joint Grease: goo.gl/XWrKYu
Grease Gun: goo.gl/nfmph6

I cannot tell you how much money you have saved me and built my confidence when it comes to working on cars. I honestly used to just have my car serviced and I always got ripped off. Your videos and the great detail you put has helped me work on my own car. Your enthusiasm makes it really fun to work on and not a hassle when I have to maintain my vehicles. From your videos, I have been able to easily work on my Mazda RX8, Ford Explorer, and Jeep Compass. No longer will I have to spend thousands of dollars on mechanics when it will typically cost me less than 200 hundred and I learn something new. Thank you, Chris.

I was thinking more like knee or hip joint replacement surgery. I mean really, once you get over the aspect of working inside a human body it’s pretty mechanical use of tools etc. How hard can it be? Medical grade sawzall or Dremel to cut out the old part; drill some holes; titanium screws and bolts to install the new joint, lubrication. Done.

Oh, I think if Chris didn't edit his videos as much as he does, you'd find that it takes HIM a lot more than 22 minutes to see a project to completion. His brake fluid replacement video took probably an hour of prep before the camera even began rolling. He had the Mazda on no fewer than 4 jack stands and the differential was supported by a floor jack.

It also shows me that with the right tools, I could probably do this myself if I need to. You are a great teacher.

Your detailed video inspired me to revisit the u-joints on my 1960 Sprite. While I have the axle out for servicing all major seals, I had overlooked this part of the maintenance. The part about the grease displacement from the bearing boots is a great one because I had thought I was putting grease in, but on 2nd review the nipples needed to be freed from old dried grease. What gave me confidence that I could get grease in via the nipples was a test squirt with the gun before reinstalling. The final part being the grease that is displaced out the boot.. She looks ready for work now. Cheers!!

You know, for a decade I have been hopping on KZfaq to watch a maintenance video every time before I start a project. It helps me familiarize myself with the upcoming work. While it's been a massive help, I have always wished more from some of the guys that upload. Many videos (while helpful), really miss the mark to teach their viewers about potential conflict points. They have poor camera angles, they fail to mention differences between parts, and they generally stick to the exact parts that they have (viewer be damned if they have a different vehicle or not OEM part). I'm always able to figure it out anyways, however. I am absolutely amazed at the quality of your videos. Great angles, you don't skip over the trivial things (like showing all 4 bolts needing to be removed -- twice), you even take multiple moments to show different drive shafts and different u joints. As a guy who teaches a lot of folks about what I know, this video does an absolute bang up job in familiarizing people into the task at hand. Never seen a mechanic video of this caliber. I don't really subscribe to channels, but you've got me on board 100%. Keep this shit up dude!

One can see that you put your efforts making the explanation as useful and simple as it can be possible , shortening the overall video time and emphasizing some recommendations than can lead to a wrong or right way on how to do it. Besides you try to make it accessible even to those who don't have the right tools. Congratulations

Wow! I was searching for a video that shows the correct way to do universal joints on a pickup truck and I found it here! My grandson replaced his universal joints on a 1990 something, Chevy S-10 pickup and he now has extreme vibration! He had no experience to do so, and got himself in a whole lot of trouble now. I understand, that his driveshaft is the type with a center bearing, which probably made it worse. He marked nothing before he started, not knowing the correct procedure. I will send him this video link. I don't know if he will be able to overcome this situation. This video here is absolutely perfectly done, the best I have seen so far on KZfaq in all respects!

I agree with Macho Camacho said. Your videos are great and you make working on cars seem so easy and fun. I love saving money by knowing how to do things by myself. I don't like to rely on others and being at the mercy of a repair shop. I do work on my own cars but I try and stick to the interior stuff (changing out radios, temperature controls, seats, tail lights, etc.); however, I think after watching your replacement of universal joints video that I could tackle this too. I have a 2005 Tahoe, 2002 Suburban and 2000 Buick Park Avenue. So with older cars, I always have something to work on. I love to tinker with cars and I go to the junk yard alot. I learn how to take things apart at the junkyard so that when I work on my own car I do it right. Thank you for your excellent and informatvie videos.

I've worked on my own vehicles all my life and changing U-joints is something I've done as well. What I DIDN'T do when working on my U-joints is to mark the bolts to check for travel after a test ride. That's a fantastic idea! When I did it, I would tighten the bolts and then re-check the tightness after a day or two of driving. Loc-Tite is a must as well! Great video! Thanks for sharing! This week I'll be changing all the U-joints in my motorhome. Fun times. LOL Take care.
