How long do Universal Joints last?
U-joints aren't something that will last indefinitely, you're most likely going to have to replace your U-joints at around 160k kms, and you will need to replace your U-joints as soon as possible once they start to fail, as they are a part that works constantly and under extreme stress.
What happens when a U-joint fails?
If your U-joint is failing you will likely notice it because of excessive vibration, a loud clanging sound when shifting your transmission or a grinding sound from the grease wearing out on the U-joint. Whatever the problem is with your U-joint, there are a huge number of different Hardy Spicer U-joint options available at Repco that can facilitate your needs.
How much do drive shaft repairs cost?
Replacing a drive shaft or its components can cost anywhere from $300 to $2000 depending on where you go and if there are other faults to manage. This can make purchasing driveshaft components through Hardy Spicer a great way to reduce costs if you can manage the repairs yourself or a way to make the process simple by having an experienced Hardy Spicer tradesman fix it up for you.
