Im not sure if this thread goes here or not. But could not find anything about driveshaft issues.
I have a 1994 ranger 4x4 5speed. I have noticed this vibration when slowing down to get off the highway. I think i have narrowed it down to the driveshaft. This truck has something like a slip yoke. The yoke bolts to the rear end and the other end engages some internal splines in the end of the drive shaft. Im thinking the splines are getting worn down. I crawled under her yesterday and there is alot of play in those splines when not put under a load. Meaning in neutral/free spinning. My question??? Is there anything you can do besides buy a new yoke to get rid of this vibration? Can you pack it full of some heavy grease and reinstall the rubber boot around the joint? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
