enigma-2 Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 New bearing greased properly? Grease on splines where shaft flexes in and out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted February 15 Report Share Posted February 15 (edited) Hate to tell you this but, sounds like a U-Joint or the Carrier bearing. Look closely at the u-joint's cups to see if any rust is evident. If so, that is what is left of the rollers due to "Fretting Corrosion". Also it is the "Down Fall" and the waster of several hours of grief, "It could not be _________ as it is new part"! If you decide to do the u-joints, spray paint the parts so you assemble them back in the same position. Even some times this does not work and a vibration is induced. Sometimes it can be fixed by rotating the assembly 180 degrees. Else the drive shaft shop. (do they still exist)?
