Title: XJ front driveshaft Ujoint issues
Post by: keener on February 13, 2009, 10:40:02 PM

Hi,
I just got my front driveshaft rebuilt at DSI.  Now the new u-joint won't set  properly in the yoke, because the bearing cups are about 1.5 mm too far apart. They told me to squeeze them together in a vise, which I did, but it didn't help.
Any thoughts on what to do now ?

make sure none of the pins fell down the grase can sometimes hide them
