So do I have a problem? It all seems too easy.(I have never driven this Bus nor have I ever seen it move through force of its own engine, so I don't know if there was or was not a problem with these joints and driveshafts other than the boots were shreaded and once out I found some of the ball bearings to be black and some worn and rough spots in other areas of the joints.)Julie
