You might want to check your front wheel bearings if you feel alot of drag. As for U-joints,they are a cheap and fairly easy fix. If you've never changed them it wouldn't hurt to do it. After you remove them its always neat to check the outside of the caps for hot(blue)spots and then check the needle bearings on the inside to see how far gone they are. IP: Logged
