Jorrell,

That's what I was thinking too. Fix the U-joint pronto.

Second, I was going to swing the rig by a local shop and for a second opinion have them put the car up on a lift and do the same drive shaft wiggle test and see what they said. 1/4" seems like a bit too much. In your experience is just replacing the entire axle assembly easier than dealing with pinion gears? I do know of a 91 sedan with only 89k on it with a full axle.

Finally, taking the calipers and rotors off and fully checking the axles I'll do this weekend, when I want to deal with all that and bleeding the brakes for the umteenth time!

Thoughts, suggestions, anyone else chime in on this?

Thank you!
