Are you refering to the axle shaft U joints b/c he said he replaced those. If you mean the driveshaft U joints then I think you might have something else that should be added to his list. I think they could be the problem, but not too likely. Worth checking anyway.

I took it off a couple weeks ago while hunting down this popping. Not that it would have not caused it, but it was just "in my way"

Thanks for suggesting it though.
I'm starting to feel pretty confident it's the trackbar mount. I have to get a wrench that's big enough to fit in that small place and tighten those s-o-b's as tight as possible. I'll check those out as soon as time permits. Got so much going on with this recent break up and stuff.

Correct, i replaced the axle u-joints. They are not binding. The front driveshaft is sitting here under my desk so it's not that
