96 F150 Front U joint help needed

On my 96 F150 my drivers front U is clicking real bad now and clunking. So it's time to change it


I tried finding a previous post about it but had no luck, I'm sure it's out there so if anyone can point me in the right direction it's greatly appricated. Thanks

Pretty easy, just time consuming. Check your ball joints before you do the job, if they're questionable it's less work to do them when you do the u-joints.

It's an easy job except the inner ujoint on the passengerside. I had to do mine in the truck. If I ever have to do it again I'm going to get a ujoint tool from somewhere to do it.
The inner axle stub is held in with a c clip inside the diff.
