Hey everyone,
I was driving my '89 YJ home last night (4.2), and WHAM! the old familiar sound of a drive shaft ruthlessly slamming into a muffler. No wories, I thought, just 4WD it the remaining 2 km's and deal with it the next day.
Next day came and went, and it seems that for the second time in 2 months a bolt holding my U-joint bracket to the yoke snapped. I even managed to mangle my yoke a bit with my drilling... So, some questions:
Why has this so far non-existant problem reared it's head so closely together? (I haven't gone off-roading in between the two breaks)
Did I do any damage to any T-Case driving it in 4WD for a mile with the fluid leaking out the back?
How do I refill said t-case?
Is minor chips out of the yoke going to cause any toubles?
And lastly:
Since I have my '88 Cherokee about a day away from being my daily driver, should I even bother fixing it, or buy myself a 4x4 with a good drivetrain and swap it all in with the time I have? Wait, ok, I know the answer to that, I guess I just need money...
Regards, Chris
