I previously posted a topic on U-joints.
I felt that my "shimmy" at high speeds came from an U-joint problem. i repaired my rear driveline found a ceased ujoint so i figured problem would be fixed. The Bronco is smoother no ujoint clunk but I was wrong. Instead of getting the shimmy at 40 now i get it at 55 mph. i moved my wheels around to elinminate a bent rim. In doing the rotation of the tires i inspected my rear brakes to find i have a blown out axle seal.
That lead me to believe i have a bent axle, which is why after having my driveline reparied and balanced that i still get the shimmy.
I am wondering would a complete axle swap from a parted out donor truck be the way to go or should i just do a remove and replace.?
I have no experience in axles.
