Re: [FWDLK] Mopar u-joints

[David Homstad <dhomstad@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I recall when Dennis showed me one of his kits, it included the housing,
pin, balls, rollers, rubber boot and clamp, and misc. little parts. These
were fresh new parts. Not 40 year old rusty parts in crumbling boxes, as
found at swap meets.

"Those" prices are good, but "anyone" is going to require the
driveline's front RUBBER BOOT, as the (almost-certainly-----I mentioned
this a short while ago--) failure of the rubber boot has allowed the
front 'u-[trunion]-joint' to lose its grease, & to deteriorate that
'joint'.

I also overlooked reiterating, on my litany of probable-
catastrophic-occurences, recently, front-"u"-joint failure, as the
result of the 'failure' of that 'boot'!!

Andy Bernbaum quoted me $22.00 (or $28.00??) for just the boot (on
"back-order", ahem, til mid-DEC), but he sold me a complete O/H assy,
for $125.00--which I will have be installed, later TODAY (12:20 AM,
PST., now).

Please, 'jack-up' your car's front end, & examine that "boot"--I betcha
it'll be 'bad'!!
