ericcroll Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 97 OB Wagon with a 96 Lego tranny... about 200k Miles. I started getting a noise that sounded like a rear wheel bearing, but discovered a bad front U-joint and subsequent output shaft seal/bushing/driveshaft shaft wear. I got a seal, but can't seem to find the bushing anywhere. Is this a dealer only item (it is Saturday, dealers are closed, and I am trying to get this done today)?

There is a small amount of play in the main shaft... maybe 1/32" or 1/16"... doesn't seem like too much. The U-joint is practically seized in one direction, so I assumed that was the culprit. I guess I should have mentioned that this car has been operated in FWD mode for the last 80k miles with absolutely no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
