Great video, rad shirt!

Pretty awesome explanation. Thanks Shawn.

Can bad ball joints lead to a U joint wearing out prematurely? I figure it could since it's asking the u joint to move in two planes of motion instead of one.

You guys need to slow down and do close-ups as you're explaining. I posted this to a TJ Facebook group to help someone out and he had trouble following along due quick words and no close-up "show and tell".

Thanks for the feedback, we'll keep that in mind for future videos. We did do some close up shots, but we probably could have paused on them a little longer and got in a little closer.

Appreciate the response. Yes, exactly. A longer pause on a close zoom while pointing out what's being )rapidly) talked about would be helpful.
Keep in mind that people watching these videos are most usually the people that don't know what needle bearing, caps, trunions, etc are.
Also, better lighting would be very helpful to the viewer.

The dimensions of the flange with tolerances and technical requirements for manufacturing are specified in which document?

Your video may as well be just audio. Yout too far away . No one sees anything your doing.

[@rafaelvasquez3566]

No close ups of parts to see damage.
