Message: <blockquote data-quote="Doug Kaye" data-source="post: 1047984" data-attributes="member: 73761">can confirm, in the bad old days drove my 74 Hillman across Zimbabwe to Victoria Falls, ujoint went out somewhere in there. Driving at 50-60mph there was just another vibration/shimmy/shake, nothing unusual then. Once in town and going slow, it sounded like a factory of dwarves down there banging and hammering away..  Local mechanic was able to replace ujoint but the carrier bearing was all torn up. I replaced that with several pieces of radiator hose cut and wedged in place, drove it like that for another 3 years ;-)</blockquote>
