Help.. Any idea what can cause front u joint break repeatly in abt every 1k miles. I replaced axle shaft, all tierods. It still break. Is it possbile cause by ball joints or bad axle?
 
Front u-joint as in driveshaft or front u-joint as in axle?

Always provide at least the MINIMUM, BASIC info on your vehicle--year, engine, etc., and any mods that might be effecting things.
 
1996 xj . I replaced axle shaft. it is same model and year as my xj. any else infos you want know, ask me I am new here. you guys can call me xj rookie.
 
bad ball joints or bent axle housing can cause it, more specs on rig?
 
Cheap crappy u-joints would explain that. You are replacing them with Spicer u-joints, right ?

Incorrect installation can damages the joints. Previously damaged axle shaft or stub shaft ears can allow the joints to implode.
