Thank you so much for actually having a camera where the ujoint is, actually driving it, actually having good audio so we can hear it, etc. 99% of the videos on here talking about ujoints is some dude filming in 120p with his cell phone from inside the car going "DIDJA HEAR DAT? DATS IT! DATS THE SOUND!" where you can literally hear nothing. Again thank you so much.
Thank you sooooo much, ive been hunting this sound for months. It was intermittent. I've changed ujoints before and never heard this. Every single search I did on google or RUclips led me to someone who suggested a tune up. You know, because tune up
Finally... as ShadowOfNoc mentioned, this video provides both audio and visual representation of a truly bad u-joint. Thanks for taking the time and effort to provide this to your fellow gearheads!
WOW THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT MY JEEP SOUNDS LIKE and why Ive been searching through vids tryna pin point a driveshaft differential or axle problem thank you for this my mechanics couldn't pin point on test drive but this is exactly the sound and speed and volume change mine makes while driving so my next shop visit I will tell them to start there 👍👍👍👍👍 I'm so glad I found this I've been bummed all weekend anticipating a MAJOR repair ...
Just started hearing a sound like this from my truck tonight, have had a weird shimmy on the highway.. always suspected the drive shaft, but thanks to this vid it might be confirmed.. will be checking it in the AM .. thanks!!
Just heard this exact sound on my 95 Bronco after getting off a highway, appreciate the time you took to upload this. Now I’m deciding do I replace just the uJoints or order a new drive shaft with new uJoints and simply unbolt & swap since both are most likely originals over 25 yrs old at this point. Thanks again!
Thank you for doing an amazing video. I was going crazy trying to figure out why my suburban was making that noise. It pings when put in reverse and when I drive it sounds like some wire is hitting something
Lupita Rodriguez on mine it was the starter . There’s this little gear inside of it that was broken loose and was bouncing in and out when accelerating
Could you hear it more when decelerating and/or with clutch down? I'm having similar of not same problem and cant diagnose it. I cant hear mine when accelerating but definitelly on engine brake/deceleration and/or coasting.
@@Anthony-wk8zj mine ended up being lug nuts being lose and spinning and catching on the threads. I think. I took wheel off and cleaned brake calipers and it stopped.
Could have something to do with someone going full yard on that drive line ear,, you can see around :35 it’s been beat like it owed somebody money, absolutely could be what’s throwing it out of balance.
So I have a f250 4x4 changed the shocks still making loud clunking noise from the rear end only going over speed bumps but it sounds and sometimes feels like the bed is gonna break any ideas?
Exact sound on a ford explorer 2008 with 133k miles, does it when trying to put it in reverse and drive, almost thought I needed to replace the tranny phewww, transmission is pretty smooth and I hope the explorer lasts with maintance. I just got it today. Don’t look forward to changing the joint but I have to do it 🫡

Lmao this comment I just spent last hour watching all that crap.
This made me laugh so hard.
Great camera placement brother

Yeah, you’ll say “my transmission is stuck in third” and somebody will reply “tune up with acdelco sparkplugs and change the fuel filter”

Perfect! Took forever to detect this noise. Thank you!!

Yep this the noise mine is making. Thanks for confirming my hypothesis
That's the noise! Thanks!
Thanks especially for the audio. Yeah it sounds like I need to replace a ujoint in my truck
Thank you for doing an amazing video. I was going crazy trying to figure out why my suburban was making that noise. It pings when put in reverse and when I drive it sounds like some wire is hitting something
I think you helped me find me problem. 03 sequoia 4.7l v8 sr5. Thanks a lot bro.
Replaces my rear end and U joint. But I still get this sound in front! I have two more U joints at my front wheels that need replacing too!
That is exactly what is happening to my Infiniti FX45. Thank you very much.
Was the u-joint the problem or drive shaft my 01 Yukon making this noise coming from rear passenger side
@@patchdaddy7019 to be honest no it wasn't. I thought it was but it was some screw lose under my trunk somewhere. What a relief
Extremely helpful, my Envoy is doing exactly the same thing. Thanks a bunch!
Dmonieluv seems like it’s louder at lower rpm than faster my tahoe is doing some noise sound from the passenger side maybe it’s this ?🤔
@@aldogee1837 exactly the same on my Mom's Envoy.
@@aldogee1837 what was yours, mines doing it from passenger side too
Lupita Rodriguez on mine it was the starter . There’s this little gear inside of it that was broken loose and was bouncing in and out when accelerating
Great video
Good bro your Work is Best
Just wanted to check the sound and see before climbing under, exactly what I was looking for
Finally the video I needed!
Great idea!
Thank you so much man!
Yup, sounds like mine without the metal clanging sound.
Thanks bro I appreciate you
Think my 1968 Cadillac has this issue. Sounds identical and can be extremely loud, yet random.
my 92 gmc sierra is doing this accompanied by vibrations.
Yep, I recognize that noise👍 Bought a new Spicer today, I know what I’m doing Sunday morning🤣🤣
Yup I most likely got a bad u joint although it doesn't make that clunking noise only when I shift
If it only clunks when shifting, its probably a bad motor mount.
Lol I can't help but think about those little mokeys that hit the symbols together lol 😆
Gotta remember it could also be a bad cv joint so make sure to check both before you go and repair it.
If not change the universal joint for a long time...what can happen to the other parts... example gearbox,longshaft n rear differential...
This is exactly the same happening to me right now so i need to replace my crossjoint
Interesting, I'm getting vibrations at highway speed, not at low speeds
Hell ya bro, pretty sure this is what mines doing
Nice
Would that cause car not to move over 30
But you can't hear the metal touching when yiur driving you can only feel vibration is thst right
Video wont play just keeps loading after the first 10 secs
Badass
Could you hear it more when decelerating and/or with clutch down? I'm having similar of not same problem and cant diagnose it. I cant hear mine when accelerating but definitelly on engine brake/deceleration and/or coasting.
A guess maybe sticking brake caliper. My brake caliper sticks and you can hear the rotor getting rubbed pretty much all the time. A guess for you.
Yeah that’s the exact thing my truck is doing I’m worried it’s my rear diff did you ever figure it out?
@@Anthony-wk8zj mine ended up being lug nuts being lose and spinning and catching on the threads. I think. I took wheel off and cleaned brake calipers and it stopped.

Thank you! I was losing my sanity
Sound like mine right now.
What car is it ? Sounds like an explorer???
It only happens when I decelerate but that’s definitely the noise
Worked over brakes and checked the ring and pinion that’s all good
What was the issue my 01 Yukon making that noise from the rear passenger exact noise only when I’m decelerating when I’m pushing you don’t hear it
So I have a f250 4x4 changed the shocks still making loud clunking noise from the rear end only going over speed bumps but it sounds and sometimes feels like the bed is gonna break any ideas?
Check where the bed mounts to body. Mine had a loose bolt and shook the actual bed when driving over bumps
@@longboardcamify it was the bed mounts replaced them already
Mine sounds like this not all the time
What would you change in this case. The driveshaft?
The U joints I believe
The clunking sound when you put it in gear is the dead give away
it does that to me but it doesn’t make noise when i’m driving how much longer do i have before it gives out
@@kick2slow don’t wait, better to get it replaced in a shop than be wishing you did on the side of the road in a rain storm.
Hope you got this "joint" fixed b now....or i wood say you lost yur driveline somewhere "go'n fish'n."
