[QUOTE="Team Houlagans, post: 982375, member: 66541"] Dan I feel your pain buddy. I have a 2001 sport Trac 4X4 and mine ate six driveshafts before I got one that didn't blow up soon after I installed it. Even the one in the truck now is making the noise like a hammer hitting the shaft but it doesn't shake the truck so I left it. I'm sure you are right about grease in the rear "Tulip" style joint just being worn out. Fellow members if you have had this problem on your Trac you would KNOW exactly what Dan is talking about. My truck sound like there is a tiny Jack hammer going on the driveshaft when it's beside something so the noise is reflected to me. I bought used driveshafts for mine as a new one here in Canada was 1000 bucks. Well now the sport Trac (which we call Jack) is nothing close to stock and a superlift shaft is on the way. Best of luck Dan all I can offer is my condolences and the reassurance that you are not alone. :grin: [/QUOTE]
