front u-joint

cybervex · Post by **cybervex** » Tue Mar 16, 2004 10:14 pm

I have just been told by the dealer that my front u-joint on my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 is bad along with one of the power steering hoses.

Is this hard to do???

I have nothing but time since being laid off.

Is it worth paying the $170 to the dealer to have a $10 part put on??

Thanks in advance for any help

cebervex welcome to thr site, If you have some tool;s & you said you already have the time , it's not that hard to change the uj out about 2 hrs tops & thats with a beer brake

but you will have to have the metric tools on the 02 .
