I have a 1994 Jeep Wrangler with aprox 140, 000 miles I believe its a 4 liter.

I got this car from my mom, before i got it she had the u joints replaced. They put used ones in. When coming from a stop it feels like the rear end drops. I live in the snow. I pulled up in the driveway and pulled in crooked and tried to reverse but it wont move. I thought ok, im stuck in the snow but i wasnt, there was no snow around the tires. The rear tires dont move in 4wd and it wont reverse at all. whats wrong with my car? Is it bad?

NO ONE INSTALLS used ujoints they are 10.00 apiece! if the driveshaft fell out of the car it would roll! it sounds like because you went a bit sideways you now have a brake problem!
