I'm taking in my disco next week to a drive line shop to have them replace the u-joints and balance the drive shaft. While they're under there, is there anything else I should make sure they check out? The clunk is sounding louder and louder now. :-)

 

Might as well have them swap you transfer case and diff fluids to synthetics. Might gain an MPG by doing so, and you get better protection..

 

You could have them change the transmission flud and filter.

 

Why have a shop do it, the u-joints are easy to replace and don't need to be rebalanced.

 

Not everybody wants to do it themselves. Or has the time. Or the know how. Sometimes you just want it to be done and overwith.

 

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. I didn't know if there were any weird rubber boots or anything strange like that, that I should be aware of. Basically anything that's on the drive shaft or connects to it besides the U-Joints.

Hey Mike, well the reason why is that I need to drive up to Blue Ridge, GA this weekend and don't have time to work on it before Friday. I need to take my Disco in to be worked on while I'm at work so I can have something to use this weekend. I had thought about doing it myself, but after the amount of work that I've done to it in the past two weeks, I kind of just wanted a breather. I know it may be the lame way out, but for this job I figured I'd let someone else do it. They're balancing both the front and rear shafts and putting on all new U-Joints on both.

Thanks again for the input guys.
