He walks through removing the floor pan, roll bar, and rear fenders to access the joint, shows the blown U-joint, explains how to grease the hard-to-reach front joint, and reinstalls the new part. Best for owners facing this exact repair.
Posted by the Master Macgyver channel, an owner documenting his own repair rather than a dealer or professional mechanic.
A blown steering column U-joint, either the front or back one, causes a bad rattle when idling up.
You must remove the floor pan, brake pedal, skirting, roll bar, and rear fenders since that is the only way to get the piece out.
Turn the grease gun up facing up and come in from the top beside the steering column to hit the zerk fitting; approaching from the side does not work.
A dealer quoted about $2000 for the job, while the owner did it himself and the new U-joint part alone cost about $100.
