I'm sorry Phil but I don't have any suggested answer.
Could you post the youtube link, I only see a .jpg attachment.

Hi Grant


Have reposted the link. Something was wrong with it.

Hi Jordan



I suspect (or hope) the Loctite 660 will solve the problem. Has anybody in our merry little band used it before, if so with what results?


Now I will be checking the other two trucks for brake adjustment tension springs and now checking each drive shaft.


I don't know if the looseness is a new development, because I have always grab and shaken drive shafts to feel for loosesness when doing a grease job. I always grease the trucks in the spring regardless of how little mileage. Of course the drive line has to have no tension/wind up, or you can't feel play. Often I just put the trucks up on four jack stands to do the spring check up and greasing.



Cheers Phil
