After hearing a strange banging/scraping/pinging noise from the back of my truck that got worse when I hit the gas quick or let off fast, I tracked it down to a bad U-joint on the pinion side the sucker moves about 1 inch <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> I just hope I didn't screw my pinion seal up like some were talkin about earlier.....

Anyway, tomorrow morning I'm going to pull a drive shaft off of a '86 4Runner, would it be better to replace the whole thing as a unit, or disassemble the u joint and put it on my original drive shaft? Will I need to have the 'new' one balanced or should it be good?

Thanks, guys and gals!
