I vote for replacing them both. The chances are that when the U-joint
explodes, it ain't gonna happen in your driveway. Moto Int'l has the
best price on the U-joint that I've found, the carrier bearing is
available from any bearing shop.

Question for the list: I have two u-joint assemlies, both of which have a slight.. but noticeable bit of slop. Splines are ok. Is it false economy to go ahead and use one of them? Moto Intl gets over $200 for a new one. Same question for the carrier bearing. It feels good, but I have no idea how old it is, and I think a new bearing goes for about $30. Replace 'em both or keep 'em and drive carefully? I know.. It's all money. Thanks Tom 72 Ambo, 75 850T, 75 R90/6 |
