Everyone's dreams mean something different to different people. Dream "dictionaries" are not fact and very inaccurate. If this dream is concerning enough to you, I suggest you seek a professional therapist who can get to know you better.
Minor repair: D/shaft center support and you joint. Major repair: Diff. /bearing and seal.
Pinion bearing and seal only if you drove with the ludicrous vibration for a long time. Mid shift baring is dumb luck or a nightmare. U-Joints are modest.
Happy self education! And Its Just a U joint that may have degraded the rubber in your center support/Mid shift. AKA mid shaft.
You can do the universal joints and center support. You need a special bearing puller to get the bearing off, then a press for the new one. Then when its all back together, have to check the gear / pinion backlash.
I would let mechanic do it all.
This repair will ruin your holiday season. Any-time the rear-end is split open for repair, it's not a job for the inexperienced.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
