When a constant velocity (CV) joint is going bad, you can hear an audible "clicking" noise when you turn the steering wheel. When a drive shaft u-joint is going bad, you will usually feel/hear a "clunk" when accelerating and/or coming to a stop,

How to remove the universal joint on a 1983 dodge 250 van?

you need to remove the circlips holding the cups in place in the ears of the ear of the ujoint. Set the ujoint on its side and place a pipe or large socket under neath such that the ujoint cup will slip inside the pipe. Place a smaller socket or peice of pipe (exactly the same size as the cup on the top side of the ujoint and give it a few sharp raps with a heavy hammer. May need to use penetrating oil and or heat to break it loose. Dont pound on the ujoint cups directly with the hammer. you will break em. also make sure the pipes or sockets are just the right size. You will destroy the yokes of your drive shaft if you pound on it with the wrong sizes. Of course you could get the right tool from your local part source or auto zone for no charge but it isn't as fun!

How do you know you have a bad ujoint on a 2000 ford ranger?

How do you fix the front drive shaft on your 1996 Chevrolet Silverado?

Assuming you need new U-joints on the shaft I will try to explain... First remove the bearing retaining u bolts from front differential and the tranny. Be careful while separating the shaft from parts( you may have to use a pry bar) that the bearings do not fall out of the cups. There are snap rings on one side of the U joint, remove those with a pair of needle nose pliers and then prop the shaft on a 2x4 or something and pound out the old ujoint with a ball peen hammer and a socket so you do not bend the shaft where the ujoint is in. Once you have it loose wiggle it out and reinstall the new ujoint but do NOT pound it in with the hammer you'll end up damaging the new bearings, repeat with other side if needed. Hope this makes sense and helps you out.

Remove drive shaft and bring to a machine/auto parts store to have "U" Joint removed and new one pressed in ** If you can not afford that, you can use a vice to push the ujoint out and press the new one in.
