I WAS HOPING SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. MY 96 RAM 4X4 FRONT AXLE U-JOINTS ARE BADLY WORN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. I LOOKED THEM UP IN THE HAYNES MANUEL (30041) AS FAR AS REPLACING THEM AND THE ONLY U-JOINTS IT TALKS ABOUT REPLACING IS THE ONES ON THE DRIVE SHAFT. DOES ANY ONE KNOW WHERE I CAN CAN GET A DETAILED DESCRIPTION WITH SOME PICS ON HOW TO DO THE JOB MYSELF. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ONES HELP!

 

Its for Jeeps with D30 front axles, but should be the same:

do a search of threads here for front axle bearing hub assembly get that out and the u joints and the whole shaft on both sides comes out too. good luck

 

Just be careful when pulling the hubs from the spindle, they can rust on and you can split the bearing pulling the off.

 

If you're going to do your own work you really should invest in the Dodge Service manual.
It will pay for itself with the first repair.
