U joint replacement. Failed or to much free play in ujoint. Shaking rattling vibration freightliner

Today’s blue plate special will be #2 u joint being replaced. This u joint connected to the driveline has well over 500k miles on it and is starting to fail. When they fail they become loose and cause vibration when driving or taking off or usually noise from under carriage. We’re going to go over replacing this beast and getting this customer back in the road fast. Time is money so let’s go.

Any videos on a kingpin for a Freigthliner cascadia

[@xerxesmo]

My u joints ok keep falling off every 2k miles or so dunno what it is

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

@@xerxesmo if your ujoints are falling off there is one of two issues. The ujoints them selves are not set correctly on the yoke. Or the yoke is not holding them well enough and will need to be replaced.

What’s with the sound BK

[@martinkazako2292]

At what speed truck was shaking? Mine is shaking at 64mph and up.

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

I believe this one was in the 40s but the speed won’t matter to much. It might shake at highway speeds or low speeds.

It is 2020 Freightliner Cascadia. I replaced wheel seals and wheel bearings. Did drive line alignment. But still shaking at 64 and up. I took it to dealership. But they couldn’t or didn’t want to find any problem. So what is your advice? Where is your shop located?

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

@@martinkazako2292 I wish I had a shop of my own so I could help you with these issues. Hopefully one day that changes. But as for that shake. If you feel it in the steering wheel than I have a few diff vids on that. Basic components would need to be checked. Tires balanced, steering shaft tight, drag link tight,kingpins tight,leaf springs sagging or shifted.

So after you guys replies, that you join the vibration disappear?

20:47 torque them to what specifications?

[@cryptocruz6312]

How much does with parts and labor? A Guessestimate please??

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

Parts you never know because there constantly changing. Expect about 3 hrs of whatever the shop rate it.

[@terrellscaife2411]

What about the U joint puller tool

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

You can try using that but with these style ujoints it’s not to effective. They tend to seize up into the drive line.

[@jadosmart1298]

Fix my joint and the next day it become loose again. Dude sell me the part and also install it.

[@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228]

If it came loose I suspect the snap ring didn’t get installed correctly. Could be a minor overlook but I would prob go to another company or tech to install

[@YourLocalSerialKiller]
