Re: U Joint question.
Heh, I should have read all the way through the thread before I
commented. Not only did I have the same problem with the yoke and the poorly fitting U joint, I got rid of the boat so I could fit the jeep in the garage when I bought it. :) jerryg wrote: > On Feb 4, 10:00 pm, "Carl S" <carlsai...@REMOVE.hotmail.com> wrote: > >>Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket.

Re: U Joint question.
Your yoke is now damaged from the last loose one.
I have 'never' seen a successful fix, the yoke needs replacing. I had the exact thing happen to my CJ7 and tried to keep using it 'loose' like you have hoping the new straps would hold it. I got away with it for quite a while too, but... When it let got again, it grenaded the yoke so the driveshaft turned into a propeller taking out my exhaust, my gas line and my brake line while punching holes in the floor of the Jeep.
