Replace em both, while your there, do it, then you ride with confidence,
otherwise you are wondering about it all the time, also the cost and
aggrevation of having the universal go bad on you while your on a ride
somewhere isn't worth it.

| 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 72 Ambo, 75 850T, 75 R90/6 |
