Just out of curiosity, did you have any indication that the front spider was going out? Asking, as I think the front U-joint is going on my car and will be crawling under it tomorrow to see. On the way home from SS20, I noticed a speed specific dull knocking that I'm guessing is the front.
I know that rear U-joint failure will be fast and gets your attention, because it feels like the rear end is going to fall off. Thanks, and good luck,
