The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Driveline knock on new u joint and patricks gear

I had something simular, I put the u-joint bolt head keepers on backwards, you have to turn the keepers into the inside so they aren't on the outside where they rub up against the ball. The u-joint turns inside the ball and unless you use ALL the gaskets they give you, then there is very little clearance for the u-joint to turn in the ball and not rub. The keepers are tricky and you have to hold your tounge just right but put them so they hold the bolts inside the ball not on the outside edge and then bend over the keepers and it will clear if you use the gaskets and build up some clearance.
