If the upper ball joint is shot that would cause the rear end to freely move. FWIW, I drove on bad u-joints for a couple of weeks before changing them.


how much did it cost for the part? and where did you get it

The u-joint? You can get at your local auto parts store. I recommend the greaseable ones. There are two of them. One on the axle and one of the t-case. Replace both while your at it. Not to hard to do.

No, just keeping an eye on it when I do servicing. It's good so far.
