drive shaft
hey my u-joints where bad on my 1995 ford bronco, so i replaced them. when i was replacing them i put all the u-joints in fine. but the part of the drive shaft called the "duel u-joint" section there is this configure, of a spring and ball. inside that ball are like needle bearing like the things that are in u-joint bearings. and they fell out, and i cant find them. my truck does not make a sound but a weird sound from drive shaft. should i replace those needle things or is it really not hurting anything? and if so where would i get some at. thanks

Positivly you need them! You will have to order the parts. Most parts stores dont stock them. The joint is called a carden joint. It may run fine right now, but it wont take long running at highway speeds to distroy itself. When it does, the vibration could take out your driveshaft. It can even take you transfer case out! I had it brake the casting between the transmission and the transfer case.
