Not quite 2 years ago, I replaced all of the U joints & the CV joint in my rear driveshaft. Yesterday, with maybe 1000 miles since, the CV joint went out. The U joints are fine, but the CV joint is in worse shape than the one I replaced with Lord knows how many miles on it. The front shaft hasn't been touched since I've had it (6+ years) & it's still fine, tho it has some slack. Mine's an ADD, an Almost Daily Driver, so I doubt it has even 1000 miles. I've seen lots of vehicles with just U joints at both ends. My EB isn't jacked up, so could I just have gotten a bad CV joint or what? Could I do away with the CV joint? I found a thread that mentioned a set-up that had had the CV joint removed at some point. What's the purpose of the CV joint in a set-up like the EBs? I don't do any hard mudding or anything really much more than riding around with the top off from April - November & then some during the winter months just to ride or if we have an ice storm, so it's not 'rode hard & put away wet'. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.
