I'm just in the process of finishing a up a bunch of mechanicals to my 89
Caravelle Carat and will soon be following up with a complete exterior
re-paint (I'll send some pictures and complete details once I'm all done).
Right now there is a sort of soft "cunk" sound/feel  from the steering that
seems to have been diagnosed as a failed U.Joint on the shaft. Story goes so
far that the part is sold as a complete new shaft (approaching $300 can).
Has anyone had any experience with removing the shaft and perhaps press
fitting a new (they're small !) U joint back in ? I was even thinking of
giving it to a machine shop to do ........ any ideas ?
