Getting a lot of vibration at 45-50 mph. Crawled underneath and found a lot of play in the front u-joint. Looking for instructions on how to replace u-joint for first time DIY. Should I also replace rear u-joint at the same time for good measure? Vehicle has 158,000 miles and I don't recall ever having them replaced before.
Thanks

 

I would recommend you replace both while you have the driveshaft out. There are a number of good tutorials that can be found on google so I won't go into great detail. Just make sure to mark the orientation of the driveshaft to the yoke on the rear axle as well as the orientation of the slip yoke to the driveshaft at the front. If things get put together differently than they were taken apart, it could result in a vibration.

 

Anyone have any feedback on these tools?
Found this on youtube cause i have to change mine also.
