The U joints look very recently replaced on the wagon. but they are completely wasted. The front one is so loose it seems like the bearings are missing! I'll have to get some new HD ones. Prolly harass my bud at the dealer for his aluminum DS. Mine aswell upgrade that too!

I have the cheapie ones from Advance. They didn't have the stronger ones in stock for the tow package and I couldn't wait on them as I already had the driveshaft out of the car when I found out the heavy duty ones I bought would not fit. My U joints are probably 1/2" wider than the standard ones.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
