U Joint
Hey! I was wondering if anybody here has ever replaced the u joints on a late 80's model honda accord. If so, is it a tough job? Expensive? Thanks!

What is a U joint? What do they do?

Accords dont have U joints, they have CV joints. A U joint(Universal Joint) is something that connects between the transmission & rear differential allowing the shaft to turn during suspension travel. Some FWD have U-joints, some RWD cars have U-joints on the rear axles. If you do replace your CV joints, I suggest replacing both axles with reman. parts. Its not hard, the only hard part without air tools is removing the axle nut.

Reman. axles usually run $60.00 - $90.00(each) there will be a core charge on your old axles - you get that back when you return your old axles.
I dont recommend junk yard axles, yes you could be lucky & get good ones. Chances are you be replacing them.
