asked by on October 22, 2016

The bushing in the extension housing spins out. They've put 2 new ones already and same thing happens. I have new extension housing, yoke, drive shaft, and u joints. Dealer says they can't figure out what it is that everything they put is re done been in and out the dealer since June. What is causing to keep happening over n over again can it be the drive shaft that's causing it to vibrate out or can it be the t case causing this. They supposedly balanced n weighed it but I have no trust in the dealer or their mechincs anymore.
