Hello All,

Anyone have any experience with replacing the lower steering coupling(u-joint). My mechanic(who I don't go to often, but he's pretty straight with me and honest) said it needed to be replaced. Even brought me under car while it was up on lift and showed me it had too much play. He said it was dangerous and that it should be replaced. I believe him cause he works on pretty much are volvos, 240s, 740s, newer ones, etc. And he said I could do it myself if I wanted to save some money.

I'm looking thru my Haynes manual(wish I had the Bentley) and it has some info on it about marking the relationship of the U-joint flange to the pinion shaft. The directions seem pretty straight forward, if there are any pitfalls or recommendations, I'm all ears.

And is the steering lower coupling suppose to be in a boot or is it suppose to be exposed. Mine is exposed(no boot).
