Rick Pak New Member 1 Member For: 1y 7m 11d Posted 03/12/24 01:52 AM Posted 03/12/24 01:52 AM There is a noise in the rear cv joint or universal. The cv joint has been replaced but the noise persists so I suspect it is the universal. The universal is crimped. Can I replace the universal joint if I undo the crimping or do I need a new shaft
