I have a 2010 F350 4WD that would click as I turned a corner. Come to find out it was a bad front u joint. Thank you for the video. I now know how to fix it!

At least your willing to jump into it and get it done ! Sometimes we learn as we go. Garages are 80 bucks an hour around here, sometimes a working man has to do it himself.

Nice video! Only thing I would add is maybe some electrical tape around the free caps to keep them from flying off while doing one half of the shaft. You don't want to be searching for needle bearings after one inevitably flies off into the depths of the garage.

What was the symptoms that led you to diagnose the u joint ? Drivability ? Noise?

Andrew Martin I had some clunking in the front end in 4WD, so I checked everything out around there and saw that the u-joint was loose (needle bearings bad).

Typical "hammer mechanic" the first thing I learned when I replaced my first of hundreds of U-Joints, you don't hammer on the caps! Hammering the caps will distort them and shorten the life of the joint! Use a U-Joint press. They don't cost that much and it might just prevent you doing the job twice. In fact, if your money is tight, you can probably rent one from the same place you got the joint from. One more thing, you say the truck was well maintained? Evidently not. That joint has a zerk fitting on it. Either you or the previous owner were lax in maintaining the vehicle with the bearing caps being so dry and rusty.

A U joint tool or a ball joint press would have made this job much easier. Btw, you didn’t show reinstalling the new outer axle seal, there’s a special tool for that and if you don’t have it, the seal is a real pain to seat properly, ask me how I know……. Shouldn’t be beating on those universals with hammers.
