Hardy spicer / drive shaft union
Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2011 6:16 pm
I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this....I've never had to deal with it before. I noticed some play at the connection point of the hardy spicer joints and drive shafts on my car yesterday. Not much play, but significant. My Haynes manual is not too clear on the hardy spicers' internals (although it appears the drive shafts just slide in). How much play is acceptable here and what is worn if there is play? I'm guessing it could be the drive shaft splines or whatever they slide into. I've never taken one of these apart. I'd appreciate any advice from some of the experienced folks on here.
