Incidentally, a couple of years ago I was getting some strange
drivetrain noises from my '96; I took it to the dealer since it
was still covered under the extended warranty. I mentioned to
the service manager that I didn't think it was u-joints since
they didn't have any play, and he said that many times a u-joint
will actually tighten up as it fails. If that is the case, not
being able to get any movement out of it does not necessarily
mean the U-joint is good. Anybody know if there is any truth
to that?
