  • Can't say I've seen this happen before.
    Color balance is intentionally way off to lighten up the video due to the G1W's awful white balance. It was too dark to really see the action in its original form.

    Respect for actually helping. I see so many dashcam videos and noone ever seems to care and/or stop to lend a hand.

    • @pantherplatform
      @pantherplatform 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Justinhomii I agree. I've replaced so many u joints and there are definitely some fine points to doing it successfully. Some U joints even have shims in the caps to center the cross so the driveshaft doesn't vibrate like it did on my 2002 F250 when I bought it last year with 295,000 miles on it. Had been to the dealership several times and even rebalanced before I got it and all that vibrating caused the pinion bearing to fail. Turns out it was balanced but wasn't installed properly. Had two shims in one cap and none on the other but it's smooth as silk now with a new dorman driveshaft and one shim in each cap on the rear differential pinion yolk which uses straps unlike the yolk on the transfer case which has a flange.

      Just keep up with your universal joint maintenance and you'll never have this problem. Look up "signs of failing u joints" so you know what to look out for. There's usually time where they tell you before they're about to go instead of just grenading.
