I'm so grateful for you guys! After I bought a used suburban with high miles, I've referred to your videos multiple times to help diagnose problems.

When a carrier bearing goes bad, replace ALL the U joints. Don't replace all the U joints "just" because you have the shaft out... there's a reason why they should be replaced at once. When a carrier bearing or U joint goes out, it causes the other U joints to wear unevenly especially if the carrier bearing is bad. Uneven wear creates vibrations, and later on you'll be changing the other U joints, and quite possibly changing the ones you've done replaced before. Carrier bearings and U joints work together as a team, when one goes, it'll force the other ones to go even if you don't realize it right away. When a drive shaft wiggles on one end from a bad joint or carrier bearing, the other end is binding up on the other U joint.
Good point
Over the The past few years I have benefited from your Repair videos.
My compliments to you and your staff on your Professional work in making them.
They are no nonsense, and to the point.
You don’t have to watch someone having breakfast and see pictures of their girlfriend walking around before they get to the repair.
Thank you, keep it straight into the point.
Shame on me for taking so long, but I figured I should at least buy some parts from you, in exchange for all the benefits
I have received from your videos.
After ordering, I checked some of the competitions prices. Yes you were the cheapest! The part I ordered arrived super fast early in the day shipped by UPS. It was extremely well packaged .
(it was a long propeller shaft that was packaged in a plywood reinforced box)
You guys are the best.
Keep up the good work,
God Bless, Roger
Man it's something about you this seems honest all the rest of these assholes man I don't trust more believe him
Good video! Simple terms. Good advice to replace all!!
Your video was very informative, thanks for sharing!🤗
Thanks for posting this!

helped me with my vericle. thanks a bunch
I don't know if anyone else mentioned it yet, but the drive shaft needs to be reinstalled in the same position as it came out, especially parts like the center support bearing.
You guys have the best products hands down!!
Your channel and videos are the best
Great content i have a 06 jeep commander i think i have a U joint issue do you think i should change only the U Joints or the entire Drive Shaft
Very thorough. Great info
+Aaron Shensky Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
You might want to check for play (lose-ness, for those with out mechanical knowledge) before pulling the shaft!
old school
Always enjoy your work.
Every video, get slapped with the VERICLE my guy. Well played
Helpful video on driveshafts, and I love the spray-on beard. Where can you buy those?
Awesome video, thank you for sharing!

Excellent video!
Great video! Thanks a bunch.
I changed the tires and got a new transfer case and driveshaft in my 2012 4x4 Jeep commander...and I still feel vibrations when I drive almost constantly ..I haven’t paid attention to the noice much. I wonder if I got bad U joints..steering feels fine too...just feels like when you drive off the road and hit the ruts on the shoulder of the road and it vibrates real bad to get your attention. That’s my best explanation on how it feels.
Did you ever figure out what it was?
Thank you for the video. I found it very informative 👌

Hey, if center support baring on a propeller shaft makes a howling/whining noise at below freezing temperatures for a short period of time, does the issue need to be addressed or can be ignored?
Funny this video came out this morning, drove my WRX yesterday noticing a slight vibration. First thing I thought of was drive line...............checking it out today. Thanks Len
+Chat Kat Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Wish i would've seen this video last year. Cause we just had to replace ours and this would've saved us a good amount of cash. I'm no expert but i worked as a production worker on the assembly line also doing bolting threading an much more.
In my case they replaced the transmission for a rebuilt and now I think the drive shaft is unbalanced somehow it's all a 250 Ford van 2009 let me know what you think by the way very well explained video
Will that u joint cause intermittent vibrations between 40 - 45 mph in a 4x4 in drive cruising speed? Vibration will feel like your going over rumble strips or sleeper lines.
Thanks very helpful
Always S good to learn and remaining us how to check and maintain the car 👍👍✌
Vericle? Damn I’ve been saying it wrong my whole life. Also I should start wearing gloves, that way there’s no need to “warsh” my hands😂
LMFAO!! thk u for the laughs!! i needed that!!
Warsh hands I get that my mom always said that. But vericle.😳😳😳 there's not even an accent that you could blame that on. Good video I guess very informative. But I thought he was going to bust out in a cheer at one point. I didn't know you could even flail your arms around in that manner without breaking all the bones in your elbows. Give me a V E R I C L E . What's that spell? Go team vericle drive shaft.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nicely Done, Very Nicely Done!
Great videos thanks
Thank you from CR

Great video, thanks for the info, trying to chase down a random vibration/ shake in my 2000 Ford expedition 2 Wheel Dr., I replaced both U joints put it back in and it still has the vibration between 45 and 60 miles an hour, randomly, it won’t do it every time but sometimes you’re just driving along and all of a sudden the whole truck starts vibrating/shaking any ideas? Thanks
+rotfan77 We wouldn't be able to diagnose an issue like that here, you may want to have a local mechanic take a look at it. Thanks for checking us out! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Have a shop check your hubs or see if you need a balance on you wheels. My mom veichle only on highways have a vibration issue at 50 to 65mph thats cause from us getting a new set of rims that wasnt balanced correctly.
Did you find a solution ?? My expedition 07 started doing the same thing about a week ago ??? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated thanks
The splines to yolk where the two shafts merge maybe worn so splines need teflon grease
Do the front drive shaft and slip yoke need to be aligned or 90 degrees off. I have a 99 F350 with this exact assembly and am suspecting it was put together incorrectly.
Are both u joints on the rear drive shaft that go from the transfer case to the rear end on a 04 Avalanche 1500 the same size on both ends of the drive shaft?
Thank you
How do you work om vehicles but can't say vehicle? Can say all them other words right but can't master vehicle yet 😂
I have a 2008 yukon slt and it jerks/jump while turning, i dont hear any transmission noise that i know of. I do have the stabilitrak light on. Someone told me to try and replace the mass air flow sensor on even though the check engine does not show it. I haven’t done so & am curious to fix it. Any ideas?
Thanks guys 👍🇲🇽

You are awesome.
Have y'all figured out the infamous clunk first to second shift in gm vehicles.03 tahoe lt awd with 4 low...
Had front tires changed on my AWD 13 Nissan rogue back had good tread left ever since I did that I've noticed a bang sound coming from I believe is the rear of the car mostly after stopping and then going again like backing out of driveway and leaving a parking lot where you turn but it doesn't always do it during the turn help I'm kinda lost
Helpful but COULD YOU PLEASE DO MORE VIDEOS ON 1ST, SECOND, AND 3RD GEN RAM 1500 4X4 i have the 3rd gen and there are close to none on the drive train, axles repair, ujoints, or more diagnostics

Hi.i was womdering whats a drive shift in a 2005 honda accored.please let me know
I have a drive shaft in a GMC Sonoma that I changed the universal joint song but I still have a slight vibration what would happen if the drive shaft was put in 180° out
Can you fix my Jeep Liberty? First I started hearing clicking, then clunking, then clunking and catching then increasingly higher vibrations, I think it’s all drive shaft related but I don’t really have the means to fix it
Have you noticed that place on the “vericle” where it says Jeep? There’s your problem!
A driveshat can moved jus a little to the left and right when is used the hands ?
the question is if you take with your two hands the drive shaft you can turned left and right just a little that is ok or it's a problem I meaning the drive shaft connected to transfer case have to be tied ?
I have a question how can bad u-joints affect the operations of 4 x 4 in a 3.7 Jeep Liberty 04 model automatic
I hear a laud clunk when I have a cold start. The noise comes from the shaft/differential. This only happens when I start the vehicle with the key in the ignition and my foot on the brake. When I start the truck with the remote start it does not happen. Any feedback on this? Also the truck is a 2020
I like more information
Can someone explain to me about GMs drive shaft that has a small segment with two u joints close together and some kind of doodad in between them? And then how to check if it's good?
Are both the front and back universal joints in a dodge ram the same
Wow a nice mechanic lol I'm a mechanic and I'm not this charismatic to be around 😐 great video sir! 👨🏻🔧

Don't forget the splines at the slip end into transfer case and also at the carrier bearing my 2011 dodge 3500 keeps wearing the blue costing off the slip at the carrier and it vibrates. Always grease at 10k and doesn't last more then 2 years.
Good 👍
I have a 2002 gmc savana 2500. Had a new carrier bearing installed ,and new u joints now there is a very bad vibration that was never there befor.please help
My uncle 1996 mercury grand marquis gs is making a clunking sound when you put it in reverse and in drive. I thought it was the u joints but they're fine so the guy said it was the differential. The differential have play so can it be rebuild or he have to buy another differential?
Changed 03 drive shaft because it was making a clunking sound AMD not going into reverse or neutral but was driving forward with no problem. Since ive changed the drive shaft now ots going into reverse and neutral but wont go into drive. When put in drive its making a sound as if the drive shaft and transmission aren't syncing. Please help
Really need some help here ... Would a weak (not as stout as the original) driveshaft cause a 2006 Pontiac Torrent AWD to vibrate under hard acceleration or while turning left or right.
BTW ...
1. The two-piece driveshaft and carrier bearing are less than two years old.
2. Same applies to Motor and Transmission Mounts, plus Bushings, Control Arms, Ball Joints, etc.
3. In short, all items are fairly new except the tires that are five years old (General RT-43s).
do we need to put grease into the spine if it goes into the transfer case? I hear a clunking sound and I think the spline is hitting the transfer case.
Does It Go by the mileage how many miles you do a year to change the U-joints

During maintenance on my rear control arms the drive shaft was accidentally pulled out from the transfer case. How can I insure that I am re-installing the drive shaft back into the transfer case so that the shaft is in proper balance?
to me it makes sense to replace what is broken.
Just changed my u joint rear by rear diff and now it's vibrating not normal before didn't have this at all any suggestions?
The problem I'm having is the tranfercase ceal keep leaking I've replaced it three times and about 2000 miles it starts again I've replaced all the ujoints and carrier bearing I still have a vibration at about 55 miles an hour to 65 then it gos away any advice
I think my rear end is going out when I go into reverse I can feel my rear end lock up and then it'll pop back into gear it makes my truck jump do you think that's the rear end??
There is a woo woo when coming to a complete stop coming from the rear end of my 01 jeep WJ with 186k miles
It’s rwd
Is this a bad u joint or the diff?
BTW, on my FWD car. I have a bit of clicking UV joints (when turning under throttle). My steering wheel is vibratig at higher speeds (highway). The suspension is completely fine, and so are the tyres (balanced too). Could the UV joints be the cause of the steering wheel vibrations?

I have 2004 Cadillac Escalade and my girl drove over a curb. Now there's a knocking sound coming from underneath the truck. . and ideas of wat it could be?
How much does it matter if you replace an aluminum drive shaft with a steel drive shaft?
I just bought it 2001 f350. The guy was telling/showing me it was vibrating a little bit between 30-40 mph but it went away he thinks it might be the carrier bearing saying I should replace soon and should be only around $100 but he let me load up my Tahoe, on the trailer that I drove all the way down there to pick up the truck with, to drive back saying I should be good. but yo check it out when I get home (322miles)because this is the first time I ever drove diesel n not knowing what to expect he said your going to heat so kind of noises you'll be fine and I wasn't sure if it was vibrating or not because of the tires but i was pulling the Tahoe and was got about a 140 down the highway towards home. I went to get over to get fuel as I got over I pushed brake pedal to slow down. All of the sudden I heard a BAM! as I went to slow down( from 70mph)!! the next thing you know drive shaft is gone and I'm coasting up exit ramp, why would braking cause that, would you know? Its a 7.3 that's tuned(?)at 100hp? This is My first diesel so i'm not familiar with them. I bought this because engine(35k) n trans. ( larger trans cooler) were redone 2 yrs ago. Oh yeah walked down highway and couldn't find driveshaft that took the ujoint n yolk with it, waiting for tow truck now as I ask this. $840 tow 177miles😔
Anyways would you know why rear driveshaft would pop off while braking? Lose pin rings holding them onto ujoints n combination with bad carrier bearing or so I have worse problems
Thank you in advance for any info anyone can give!!
Hi my prob or back axle is clunky every turn of the wheel and at speed it's whining back axle hot to touch
What if a rope gets stuck and you hear a noise while your driving pull over and see a rope wrapped around the shaft i go to unravel it and noise stopped and drove like nothing happend but could that have cause it to damage stopping it from moving??
Thanks for the help with my "veircle", it's been "ekspecially" informative.
I'm going to go out and check my vertical now.
I suspect this is the problem in my 04 Nissan Pathfinder. Every time I maintain a constant speed (whether 20mph or 45mph) my whole vehicle tends to wobble back and forth. So I have to either speed up or let go of gasp peddle to get out of wobble, also when I hit a bump I hear something under the center console that feels loose. Tires are fine. Wonder if this could be the problem.

I'd say carrier bearing
thanks man...i spun the tyres and found the tread was puffed up!...right in the middle of a tread...went from flat to concave :(
I have a 2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali and when I come to a stop it feels like if someone hit me from behind . Any suggestions on what it could be
Check your sway bar links probably have one thats broken or rubber bushings are worn out. If they're good then check motor mounts, common issue for that year model.
Replace the whole thing. It looks like something pulled from the bottom of the sea.

My pickup keeps dropping the rear driveshaft. Replaced the u joint multiple times and even the drive shaft and it still fell out. And transfer case exploded and took out overdrive housing. What might be causing my driveshaft to keep falling out?
I bought 2 U joints. The one to the transfer case and the rear. What would the middle one be called? I have a 95 Chevy 1500 z71 4x4
He said.. center carrier bearing
What if my truck is jerking/bouncing when I put it in drive or reverse, it’s not the brakes because it bounces with the rhythm of the engine. I can not find anything that it could be and it’s hard to explain it to someone with them being here to experience it. Please give me an idea of what it could be.
I have a 2013 Ford edge and when I accelerate I hear a humming noise. Sounds like those big trucks tires going down the road. Anyway, I took it to Midas and they said it's either the transmission, differential or transfer case. Thankfully have a warranty but does anybody have any idea what it could be? This vehicle is AWD.
For 4WD applications, does the front shorter shaft have to be in PHASE with the rear shaft?
+ABBI NOLOVE Thanks for the feedback!
@@1AAuto I’m asking a question, not leaving feedback lol
I have a question, I have 2014 accord , 4 days ago it vibrated every time I stepped on the gas. Today I turned it on just fine but when I switch it to D (drive) it goes nowhere like it literally revs but doesn’t move same with reverse. Could it be the head gasket or is it the drive shaft, and how much would either of those repair cost if you had to guess??
Sounds like a transmission issue. Hopefully just the linkage and not the whole tranny.
From my experience with a Honda Accord with the same issue, what is the transmission fluid quantity and quality? Is the fluid level at the full “COLD” level or the full “HOT” level after the car reaches operating temperature? I agree with the first commenter that the symptoms you described definitely resemble a transmission issue. How many miles are on the vehicle? And when was the last time you changed the transmission fluid and filter (it may or may not have a replaceable filter)?
Is there a reason why transmission fluid was pouring out when my drive shaft fell to ground after ujoints broke?
