so ive been noticing since yesterday that steering is a little sloppy, and ive isolated a clicking noise to the front pass. wheel. so im figuring the u joint is going. what can i do about this? is this a do-it-your-self (keep in mind i learned how to change my front breaks the other weekend, and i was real proud of my mad skills) or do i bring this in? let me kkow asap

welllll... i've mastered the art of changing Ujoints... after my rear pinion yoke went bad, without me knowing last year... i went through 3 in a month... then i've many here and there... BUT.. changing a wheel joint is NOT what i call fun... the actualy joint change is not the bad part, its still not fun, but the hard part is getting to it. getting through your hub, taking it all apart, and all that crap is the pits... its not about the skill... its about the patience and time you have... it can be a DIY job, but prepare for some anger[addsig]

If your steering is a little sloppy and it is clicking, you might want to check out the wheel bearings. I am not sure on the year you have, But I think all front wheel beerings are servicable, I know 93 after rears aren't.[addsig]
