RE: [Chrysler300] u-joint problems / 57c

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

While studying the factory service manual for my 1955 C-300, I noticed that
the boot gizmo for the 300 is different than from the others--apparently due
to a heavier construction of the housing, pin and balls.  This may be the
case for the '57, also???

I have a brand new one (boot gizmo) I bought from Goers for my  F.  Never 
put it on as the drive shaft was converted to new Spicers on both  ends.  If

it is the same as the 57, it is yours for the asking.  L  Jett

old  billlllll in kennewick washington is having u-joint problems on his 
1957  chrysler 300.

the boot gizmo flew apart (it was a fakey joe  affair).

is there a boot gizmo available?

is there a rebuild kit  available for the u-joint in the front?

my mechanic buddy says it is  ever so slightly loose.

is there any danger in driving (carefully) with  no boot gizmo and ever 
so slightly loose?

any advice on this  project would be appreciated.
