Love your idea. Would like to find a similar ball with a better fit
diameter as keeping the ball whole creates more strength for pressure
desired. Then take said ball, drill a small hole in it then fill it with
grease so when pushed, it will squeeze out lubricant. Also packs the ball
for more pressure. Might be in the ball section of toys r us for a bit!!
No thanks!! There is something to be said for being self-sufficient and
having a little ingenuity. Thanks for watching.
Quit rigging and fix it!! Either replace the bushing or the yoke if it’s
worn ad be done with it and it will be fixed right.
i have to check that during weekend, but will it be bad if i just live with
it, i mean im used to that but will it be bad to transfer case or to the
gear box? thanks man
could be due to the slip yoke as described in the above video,
or,……..it could be related to the rear differential. You could
disconnect the driveshaft from the rear differential pinion gear and sit it
down on the ground, then move the pinion gear (rear diff input) back and
forth with your hands and see if you hear a loud clunk there.
good job man, that was great. i just have a question, im having that clunk
but im trying to avoid it by shifting from Parking to neutral and then i go
to reverse so that sound will not come, but my issue is when i accelerate
from partially stop( my speed around 40KM/h) then i hear the clunk sound,
lets say when shifting from 2 to 3 gears or from 3 to second gear. so is
this normal? just FYI i recently i over hauled the transmission
