I would just like to know if anyone is haveing problems with the little tabs on there yokes breaking off and loseing the UJ caps?I think I have fixed mine but I was just wondering what you guys have to say about it.
 
Shouldnt be happening.Probable causes would be "used straps,improper torque,bad u-joints,out-of-balance driveshaft,etc"!
 
Well this is what i did.

I capped the ends with washers and also have one on the inside the size of the UJ caps.They where tig welded on.I drilled the bolts out and put ford straps on.The last time I broke I broke both of the old strips breakinf all 4 bolts off.
