Im just wondering if my u joint is going bad as well, when i come to a stop
and barely rolling it sounds as if i am dragin a tiny piece of metal, then
it goes away, then comes back, while only doing like 1kmh, its very odd and
only does this once and awhile, would this be the same thing, my dads u
joints in his truck go bad all the time, because of the torque thats put to
them just rips them apart, but it dont sound like that, any other
suggestions would help,
and daksy, i say replace it anyways if thats your guy instinct cause they
arent that hard of a thing to do,
