Re: Universal Joint Replacement on a 1949 - 288 Deluxe

Good afternoon all...

We have checked out 'Miss Prudence's' Rear-End and determined that it is fine. Today Alex Alfaro and I removed the drive shaft and removed and replaced the Universal Joints. Today was the first time in the almost two years that we have owned 'Miss Prudence' that she has driven down the road absolutely quietly, like a good Packard should.

We are now looking into Radial Tires. Our normal Tire Shop is recommending Cooper P235/70R15/SL Cobra Radial G/T Tires. We wonder what other members might have used on 23rd Series Packards. 'Prudence' is a model 2362.

Thanks, Ernie
