Drive Shaft & U-joint in Lake Stevens

Drive Shaft & U-joint in Lake Stevens, WA

Lake Stevens wraps around the county's largest lake, and its explosive growth has filled the hills with newer subdivisions while SR-9 and US-2 carry its commuters south and west every morning. A u-joint is a cross with needle-bearing caps on each end, simple, cheap, and absolutely critical, because when one lets go the driveshaft goes with it. Jamie's Transmission Service has repaired and replaced them for Lake Stevens trucks and cars since 1988.

Straight Answers on Drive Shaft & U-joint in Lake Stevens

Between the Frontier Village stop-and-go, the SR-9 grades and boat ramps around the lake, Lake Stevens vehicles see both traffic wear and real towing loads in the same week. The third symptom is the clunk, that solid thunk shifting from park to drive or between reverse and drive, which is play in a joint that should have none. On Lake Stevens trucks that tow, that slack gets hammered by every load change and the wear accelerates.

Why Lake Stevens Trusts a Specialty Shop

Every summer we build and service transmissions for Lake Stevens boat owners, because backing a wakeboard boat up a wet ramp and pulling it home over the hill is genuine heavy duty use, whatever the truck's badge says. We replace u-joints with quality greaseable units where available, service carrier bearings on two-piece shafts, and check driveline angles, because a joint run at the wrong angle, common after lifts and suspension sag on Lake Stevens trucks, wears out on fast-forward.
