I've finally installed the engine in the frame for my 72 Ambo project.. and
I'm turning my attention to the driveshaft and u-joint.
Question for the list: I have two u-joint assemlies, both of which have a
slight.. but noticeable bit of slop. Splines are ok. Is it false economy to
go ahead and use one of them? Moto Intl gets over $200 for a new one. Same
question for the carrier bearing. It feels good, but I have no idea how old
it is, and I think a new bearing goes for about $30.
Replace 'em both or keep 'em and drive carefully? I know.. It's all money.
Thanks
Tom
