Does anyone know how to detect a failing u-joint?

Thanks,
Jorge

Jorge,
Their are a few ways to detect a bad u-joint. First of all, is it making any noise, like when you go over bumps? Are you getting any vibration? Also check with a big screw driver, and see if you can pry the joints around, and get some movement. If so, you need new ones. When you check with the screwdriver, have the vehicle in neutral, with the e-brake on, and chock a tire.
