Lucky me. As I was driving home from work today in my 76 Spitfire, my car
started to vibrate and clunk, as I rounded a curve only a couple miles from
home (with lofty dreams of milking her to the driveway)...ker-bang, ker
plunk, grind grind grind, I was stuck. Guess what...right side u-joint let
go. Chewed everything up, car wasn't moving. So, I guess I have a
weekend(?) project (luckily, there's a place just down the freeway from me
that has the parts...and are open on Saturday!!!!!)
Could somebody guide me through this process please, I've got the manual,
but it always help to have instructions from those that have fought the
beast...this is my only driver and my workmates are going to be a tad bit
upset if I can't get there on monday!!! :-)
One curious thing, the drum on the right side of the car was extremely hot,
as if the brake had locked up. My e-brake felt as if it were extremely
tight when I tried to pull on it...What's going on here???
Please help!!!!
Will
(the desperate!)
