Good boy! I have a '92, and thankfully I haven't had that issue yet, so I wasn't sure what was used on the front axle, but since I've been working on family and neighbors' vehicles with similar issues, it sounded right. I had to replace a rear universal....front didn't appear to need it...no point replacing a good part, and it appears that the rear had been replaced once already, since it had grease zircs and was dry as a popcorn fart.
Universals instead of CV joints? What were they thinking?

I have u-joints up front | instead of CV's, it being a '91 and I guess the drivers side u-joint | is bad. I'll replace all of them while I have it torn down. I've got | the Chilton and the Haynes manuals also.
