What does my Daks CV Joints have to do with my Dak driveshafts and universal
joints???? No the cv joint boots arent leaking and there arent any problems
with them either, in 2WD or in 4WD. Nothing makes noise either Mike, I was
just told I shouldnt be able to rotate the shaft more than 1/8", mine is
about 3/8". There isnt really that much up/down slop, just rotating play.
