Signs a universal joint may need replacing include a clunk when shifting into drive or reverse, vibration that builds with road speed, a squeak at low speed, or noticeable play in the joint. Other driveline or suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. If a worn universal joint is the cause, the 534G replaces it.
