Slung's 27-year-old grandpa-driven truck was making weird vibrations, so we thought it was probably the carrier bearing since the rubber looked kinda bad from beneath. Once we got the driveshaft off, it became obvious that one of the u-joints refused to turn on one of its axes - no movement at all.   It's super weird that it didn't make any noise, because in my experience these things make a tremendous racket when they eat poo poo. Then again, we had to use the bench vise to pull the bearing caps off. We picked up three new u-joints at the ol' parts store.

Having been the proud owner of a few Chrysler products over the years, I learned how to swap out U-joint crosses at roadside, and always carried at least two in my toolbox. The only warning I ever got was that the view out the center rearview mirror would get...fuzzy on acceleration. None ever made a noise when they let go, not even the one that peeled an ear on the front yoke (which I have around, somewhere, as a paperweight).

Meh, you could still tell it is supposed to be a needle bearing so it not THAT bad

Eehh. Those joints could have been worse. I had a combo recently. That usual wear, plus a side that had needle bearing dust and a tapered inner race... or whatever it's called on a universal joint.

Stolen off imgur Gearbox off a diamond barge.  Bearing on the left side failed here.  Gallery here with some pictures of another unit that failed at the start.

That's a lot of shear force in parts that aren't designed to take it.

Citroen Xsara VTS. Yes, solid bar rear axle as above. Actually a hoot to drive.

I guess I was just surprised the whole axle went out as opposed to the wheel breaking off at the hub.

Actually a hoot to drive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citro%C3%ABn_Xsara quote:At the front was a standard MacPherson strut layout with anti-roll bar, while the rear used the PSA Peugeot-Citroën fully independent trailing arm/torsion bar set up, which was first introduced on the Peugeot 305 estate. However, PSA's chassis engineers employed some unusual features, including passive rear wheel steering, though less than on the ZX, (by means of specially designed compliance bushes in the rear suspension), and inhouse developed and constructed shock absorbers. At high mileages, this is prone to wear of the axle mounting bushes which is easily fixed. It is also prone to wear in the rear axle trailing arm bearings, which then wear the trailing arm axle tubes, requiring an expensive rebuild or a replacement axle assembly. Citroen developing a mechanically clever but fragile system? But that never happens!

I've always wondered, how effective is your hearing protection in that sort of environment? Don't you just feel all the insane levels of sound through your bones anyway?

Memento posted:I guess I was just surprised the whole axle went out as opposed to the wheel breaking off at the hub. It actually kinda looks like the impact wheel bends at the hub (and probably freezes the bearing,) and then when the car touches down again after the bounce, the drag from the now-hideously-misaligned-and-no-longer-rotating wheel rips the axle out of the car.

Yeah, when it comes down, the tyre grabs onto the metalwork and rips itself out. I can't imagine anything similar would fare much better. I do want to see the next few seconds to find out if the guy just carries on View To A Kill style. One of my favourite rally moments was Tommi Makkinen did the same thing, and only stopped because they got to the (public road) transport stage and the police asked him what the gently caress he was doing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmWR5WFbkz4

From my experience - it's loud. We would double up on hearing protection, in ear stuff + big over the ear stuff and it worked well. You still feel the noise but it's not too bad on the ears strangely enough.

I have it on good authority that the danger is not to your ears when you feel the noise, but is in fact when the girls rock your boys.
