Bad yoke and slip joint after alignment?

Dude, there is no place in the USA , or earth that charges 240 for that joint. As far as work, there is no work …Holiday , Slow… it was slow before , now it’s like all the trucks are home .

 

I can take it to another shop, I know 3 other shops that do stuff like this. Ask them to put the bad drive shaft in my pickup truck , then drop it to get fixed to the other shop, then get it back where the truck is so they can install it back
Problem solved !
We will see. Not all the parts are overpriced, just the joints, the big one by $90 x 3, the small ones by 40x 2, and the input shaft yoke , they’re asking over 430, and I can buy it with 260.
These are same brand same name same thing, ok. We’re not talking aftermarket .

 

Hilarious thread,now you arguments with yourself?
If you stressed over a 'nothing' issue as this,how you handle real big deals?

 

How much do you value your time? Also, if the U-joint breaks and you want to claim a warranty, who provides the labor?
Parts supplier won't because they didn't do the work. Mechanic won't because they didn't supply the part.
That is a lot of extra time for the shop doing the work to have a service bay occupied for you to run and get parts. That is very nice of them to let you do it.
Good luck

 

$100 says the shop will run into “problems” replacing the yolks so they can pad their labor time since he’s complaining about markups on the u joints anyway. It’s all going to be a lot of wasted time to come out a wash at the end.

 

This whole topic has gone to hell in a hand basket. The guy is cheap can't blame him for trying but he's defeating himself. I say let him do it HIS way and don't try to educate him. He has to learn the HARD way and I am outta here.

 

Like what?

 

That’s English for crooks are crooks, no matter what?

 

To be fair I had to learn this same **** that way too. Lesson I took there was learn how to DIY everything possible. Obviously some things are not DIY. Gonna have to pay somebody to get new yokes welded on or maybe just buy a new shaft but there's a LOT $$$ to be saved in all the labor dropping the shafts out and reinstalling with new u-joints and it can be done in the driveway with basic hand tools by a layman.

 

I know that you don't seem to understand, so I won't insult you. But no you can't. @Goodysnap gave you good advice. You can just replace the yolk to buy you some time while you save some money. But the last thing you want is to loose a driveshaft while driving. It will cause an enormous amount of damage.
