Ok I have a question for you experts out there. The gimbal bearing in my bravo one was shot so this past weekend I replaced it. Looks like there had been a little water in there but all the bellows were in great shape. I tightened everything down hopeing one of the clamps had come loose and took it out to the lake. Everything sounded MUCH better but I still get a weird clicking or grinding noice when I turn to the far right or left with the drive all the way down. If I raise it slightly I can turn completly each way. the only thing I can think of is that the U joints are bad but when I inspected them they seemed to be ok. they were a little rusty but moved freely and didnt seem to be bad. Do you all think its the u joints or anything else that can cause it. I just want to make sure this is the last time I take this thing apart.
