So I was under my truck today and looking around. I searched this site and on the net, as well as the old site but saw very little info regarding u-joints.
I have a 03 4x4 trailblazer.
I saw that there is only 3 u-joints, 2 on the rear driveshaft and 1 on the front. Is this correct?
From what I can gather, the rear you have to undo the straps and slide the driveshaft out towards the rear?
For the front their is a pair of straps. When you undo them, do you slide the driveshaft backwards and drop it? Because there is the crossmember there.
I also noticed that because 4x4 wasnt engaged, there was a bit of play on the front driveshaft. I know that it rotates making access to the straps easier.
I plan to do the u-joints this summer and any info would be much appreciated.
