Hi all,

I hope its been a enjoyable Christmas and New Year.

While doing some general checks on my Renegade yesterday I noticed my rear U joint closest to the diff is shoot and I will be replacing it. I also noticed play the slip joint (where the rubber boot covers the splines) the play is up and down. Is there suppose to be play there? There is no noises or drive line vibration.

Thanks.

Maybe .5 mm . I woudnt worry about slight movement but while you have it apart for the universal , pop the clamps , clean em up good & add fresh high pressure grease .

Back to the stock U joints which are Spicer.
