The nasty job of restoring the drive shafts,
who of you is checking the U joint before buying a car? Ok it is almost impossible as you do not reach them, but be sure, it is a nasty job to do it and while I have everything apart, I decided to replace all U joints at the car. Too often, previous owners did not grease all the bearings. So the probability of having corroded surfaces is given.

Onthis hub you see the later water deflector.
Which on the other side was missing. So one was replaced.

Half shaft prior to cleaning and disassembly

Found two different hub carriers, which one is correct?

When did the model change?
Count the shimms on each side to ease the pre adjustment when fitting back

Nasty job to get the cups out, but you have to do it.

Who is checking these before you buy a car ?!
