Question Driveline

I Was Wondering If You Guys Have An Idea Of The Life Of Mid-ship Bearings And U-joints. I Have 225k And Have Not Had A Problem, But Am Starting To Wonder When I Will.

I have only 126k on my driveline and was wondering the same thing. I had the driveline off for transmission removal and thought about changing out the u-joints. The u-joints and bearing felt and looked OK, so I decided to keep running them.

Thats a good question, I have 247K on mine and they are still going good. I just wonder how much longer they are gonna keep going.

Just a note along the same subject... My Ford "Scheduled Maintenance Guide" says to "lubricate front half-shaft slip yoke" every 120 K..
