Sometimes vibrations are really tricky to diagnose. Nice job Daniel! -Glen
@gregfuesler4222 жыл бұрын
Great video, love the video at high speeds to show actual vibration. A few things to add to make the job more complete. 1. Wire brush the tabs that hold the U-Joint caps on the rear yoke. Especially where they contact the U-Joint caps. 2. I always lightly center punch the shaft and yoke in the rear to mark the orientation (this is so when the next guy forgets to:). A center punch mark won't wipe or wash off. 3. This is a big one that I never knew. "Seat" the U-Joint caps. Yes "seat" them. I spotted it in a video and it is true. After you press in the caps, try to rotate the U-Joint. If it moves but is tight (and most of the time it is) take an impact socket that fits inside the yoke opening for the cap. Give it a quick wrap with a hammer. Do this on both caps. This will "seat" the cap and then the joint should move freely.

I had a vibration after replacing U joints on my '02 Silverado. I later found that i had a poorly made yoke from factory. The ears of the yoke were different thickness from one side to the other causing the shaft to be off center. I had to get a new yoke and have the drive shaft balanced but all was good after that.

For those watching this video in fall 2020. I just had my 2017 Chevy Colorado serviced to repair the Chevy shutter. All that is required is a complete transmission flush. They remove all of the old fluid and replace it with a new Mobile 1 fluid. The old fluid was being corrupted with water moisture that somehow gets into the closed system. The service bulletin number is 18-NA-355. Seems to have solved the problem.

One thing I like to do, when installing new u-joints, the caps not being pressed into the driveshaft I like to put a piece of tape around them so I don't have to worry about them falling out while installing. Then take the tape off when installing onto the pinion yoke.
@RobertL785 жыл бұрын
One thing I have always done is tap the driveshaft on both sides with a hammer after putting in both clips to help center up the cups and remove any bind they might be in from the pressing.

Co-worker had that happen on his Peterbilt, right after it came out of the shop from having some work done. He made it less than 45min up the road, and it let go at the front diff, because the mechanic hadn't torqued down the bolt that holds the yoke on the drive pinion at the front diff. When the yoke let go, the shaft thrashed around and tore open both his fuel tanks. The PB dealership had to come good for both saddle tanks, a yoke and pinion at the diff, and a new shaft, plus the big fat fine the company got for the fuel spill. I can't remember, but I think there was a fight over the tow bill. And the co-worker was out of work for a week and a half while the parts were rounded up and installed. Last thing I heard over that, that particular mechanic was let go. The fuel spill fine itself was ten grand, no idea how much the cleanup was, and I didn't have the heart to ask too many questions so I never found out how much the damage was to his truck in terms of dollar figure.

I have a Chevy G20 van that I've been restoring with moog steering parts and acdelco for everything else. I see on RockAuto they have the GM genuine u-joints and also they have Moog u-joints. I can't tell from the pictures if the GM ones are greaseable. Are you aware if there's a big difference in the quality between the two? I'm leaning more towards the GM genuine u-joints but I'm not sure if the Moog is more of an upgraded version and I know for a fact that it's greasable.

I have a new TW front shaft ready to go on, but none is on atm. I suspect the rear pinion is the culprit and have an eaton trutrack and new 3.55s to go on.

My car had a vibration exactly between 120 and 130 km/h (75 and 80 mi/h), which was annoying as those two numbers are common speed limits on the highways where I live. Then I went and changed the timing belt (i4 interference engine), which required removing one of the motor mounts. I had marked the mount in order to put it back where it was, but when I went to do so I noticed I really had to put a lot of force against the engine to push it back into its previous position. So I fastened the motor mount in what seemed like the right position instead. No more vibration :) I went back later with a fabricobbled caliper to check the engine position and it was dead on. I still have no clue how it got moved out of position by about 2.5 cm / 1 inch, though I suppose it might have something to do with the previous owner driving into things on a regular basis.
