U Joint question.
Installed new U Joint on my 95 YJ. Rear axle. Lower joint. Got the
right part but it is not a tight fit into the yoke as I've been told
it should be. The joint has a grease fitting. Should I loosen the
straps and grease it up until the bearing caps contact the tabs, or
leave it alone? The new joint seemed to quiet down my vibration
problem. Thanks as always.

Re: U Joint question.
You can try loosening the straps a little bit and filling it with greast but
it sounds like your yoke is warped. Try the grease first.

Re: U Joint question.
Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket. The nickel and dime stuff can be
very discouraging, but don't let it get to you.
