Just drove my son's '76 RC. GOOD GOLLY! It's all over the road and the front end is popping on every turn. So i'm thinking ball joints. Get back home, jack up the front to check it out. Pasenger side moved just a fraction. Drivers side tire was all over the place. I look behind tire while shaking it and lo and behold, it's not the ball joints moving but the u-joint. What am I up against here? I printed out the how to on the 77 u-joint replacemant but the axle shaft looks like it's moving around too. Does this mean the bearings are shot? I haven't heard any squealing or grinding that I usually associate with bearing failure. Will the axle shaft move with a worn out u-joint?
The how-to looked pretty straight forward I think we can handle it. What else do we need to do while we are in there with a limited budget?
My son's RC is a 1976 400 with full time four wheel drive and auto transmission.
