Constant Velocity Joint problems (cv joint)
Posted: Tue Jul 18, 2006 1:12 pm
Here's my setup:
1987 Bronco II 4WD
Chevy SB V8 283, Ford 5-Speed Manual (stock)
I pulled my rear drive train today and there is a chunk that cracked off of the cage that holds the bearings in place and the spring and cap inside the flange are all cracked up and shot.
I want to replace the CV Joint, and possibly the whole driveshaft (flange, etc), but I'm not sure where to start looking. Does anyone know a web-site or where to find out which Explorers, or Bronco II's are compatible with mine? Can I use a Cardan U-Joint with this setup and just replace the yoke?
Any help would be great.
Here's a picture of what my the drive shaft looks like:
