It is mainly the problems you

It is mainly the problems you get with older vehicles, if it is the universal joints with play they are easily changed.

Many people do not grease them often enough if they are using the vehicle extensively off road, a simple problem with a simple solution. It creates mud and rust inside the joint which is basically a yolk, cups and needle rollers, the yolk and needle rollers wear and it creates the vibration.

Yours sounds like it is in the early stages so a good greasing may well cure this. Simply grease well until all the old grease is removed, and the new grease emerges from the joint, this meand fresh, uncontaminated grease is in the joint which takes out small amounts of play.

thnks ill try that first. i

Grease gun

Hi.

I find a gun with a flexible rather than a fixed tube is easier to locate onto the U/J grease nipples.also use grease cartidges, far cleaner when refilling. Check out your Machine Mart catalog
