Rear Axle Squeal

Something not working right?

It turned out that one of the C clips wasn't seated properly and flew off, allowing the drive shaft to shift and become severely unbalanced.

And I only replaced the rear U joint as the the front U joint wasn't bad and I needed the time to get started on replacing a bearing in the rear axle. The chirp is gone, and all is good.

I'll post pics tomorrow after some much needed rest.

Thanks all

Well unfortunately all the pictures I took on my phone were corrupt. But I was making a time lapse of the whole episode, so that's in the link below!

Thanks Again All!!
