Dodge never should have put a u-joint on the front axle. U-joints weren't designed to work properly over about 17 degrees. Make sure you grease the new owns regularly. Aftermarket joints come with a zerk fitting. You'll need to do this yourself since a lot of shops don't use the pin adapter to grease u joints or they blow the seals off with too much pressure. Before installation into the axle make sure the u-joint moves freely in all directions. With the yoke installed it should flop freely if the shaft were rotated. If they don't the cap housings are bent together and need to be seperated to prevent future recurrence. Be careful not to tear the seal in the differential! We always greased the splines before we slowly installed it. If you can get a ball joint press to press the u-joint cups in and out. Hope this helps. Gerard

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
