I put this off for a while longer than intended. Today, when cleaning inspecting the U joints in place, I found one of the bearing caps spinning in the output yoke from transmission.

After removal and disassembly, None of the needle bearings look particularly worn, but there is enough slop to replace.

The rusty DS got wirewheeled and then scrubbed with much Ospho. Gonna drop it off at Oceanside Driveline tomorrow. They say they have another output shaft and the small chrysler to big Chrysler conversion U joint that I require in stock, and will balance it, paint it and install new U joints, though I am not sure of that order.

Hopefully the fully degreased rust converted, and ready to paint driveshaft takes off some of the labor fee.

215$

Neapco greaseable Ujoints, one of them a conversion U joint, balanced painted, new TX output yoke which rang up at 55$.

The guy saw my front GMB U joint whose cap was spinning in the yoke, and said I must have supplied that part when they installed it a decade ago as they certainly did not. I later remembered that I had bought it before realizing I needed a conversion U joint for my 9.25 axle upgrade, and had them install the GMB on the front.

The balancing weights before and after are in different positions and weights, but not a huge amount and not by very far.

Though neither U joint was severly worn, it is much quieter, but some of the noise I hoped would dissappear, did not. I've not yet gotten it to 55 mph where the slight vibration became most noticeable. I'm gonna rotate the Cooper AT3's front to back and see if the noise changes. They were broken in on a road trip mid summer, slightly underinflated for the load, and I was pushing the handling limits of the van at times, at speed, on the 1 and 101 south out of Crescent City.
