So I’m injured and can only do so much, so I had an inspection done at a driveline shop. I’m pretty sure these guys were stoned because it was 4/20. I’m almost sure they left it in neutral and tried to tell me there was to much play in in my rear driveline, moving it side to side and sliding it forward and back.
I parked it at home in first and took a look and tried to move stuff to see what they were doing and it barely had any play in for me. I did the same thing and I feel like it was a mistake on their part. They want to charge me 600$ for a newly fabricated complete driveline.
I believe that I need to have my u joints redone on the front portion to clear up the vibration I get around 55-65 mph. It really only happens when I put my foot on the pedal. I have a brand new set of tires that are balanced and good alignment.
I’d like to pull apart the rear axle and redo the ring and pinion kit I believe? Hopefully it’s just the seal it getting old and because I clean the under carriage pretty well that it’s leaking so good. Just in case there’s any damage. List of what the shop wants to do is attached..
Thoughts ?
