So I popped a u joint driveline hit the ground and broke the t case. I Got a new t case and am going through u joints like crazy. Im not even nailing it or anything. I drove about 10 miles and popped a u joint again? I've now been through 5
i used to go through u joinst like crazy cuz my angles were bad i had a guy that specializes in lifts in my aria put a shim in alot cheeper than cutting the rear axel off and rotating it

I know its an old thread but ive heard people say the same thing. Now that I have a few more years under my belt of working on rigs.
It was my fault. I was buying u joints that were pre greased. Than greasing them which out way to much in and once it got warm it was popping the caps off.
Maybe thatll help someone else making the same mistake
