What in the name of God were you thinking?

U-Joints and drive lines are nothing to fool around with. Haven't you ever seen a vehicle on the side of the road with the drive shaft laying in the road behind it? If you loose that drive line at a high speed they have been known to come up through the floor boards.

Replace the U-Joint and do it right or take it someone that knows what they're doing.

Heh, I used to own a 72 Mercury Montego... .The front u-joint went on I-95 in Lawrenceville NJ... Candycaned itself into the ground... wracked my head on steering wheel...

I agree, this guy needs to wake the hell up.

The needle bearings go out and you just keep on installing it?

Pretty stupid in my mind.
