Yea, I agree with everyone else, probably ok. I would still check the bellows though, sometimes with the joints in a bind like that they rub on the ujoint bellows and wear a hole in it. Still, it's worth the 5 minutes to check it out.

if the engine is running the u-joints are moving...pull the 6 bolts on the back of the drive and pull the drive off in a level position...u-joints will ware in a range of motion...then if used out side of it...well....also the bellows should have ZERO moisture in it when ya pull the drive...your u-joint may have made contact(more likely if things are a bit old)...last thing is stick your hand in there to check the gimbal bearing is smooth...

Can you put it on a lift to see if water leaks out of the bellows engine and drive are ok pull the drive if you can 2min is a long time for the ujoints to rub on the bellows.We charge around 40 to pull and lube if water gets in there it gets ugly plus it can sink if it sets in the water.
