Okay, if it's not the yolk, which I believe it is if it's broke. But, if not, are you getting the right size u-joint? If it looks like the caps are coming off, can be wrong size as well. Found out when I kept throwing all mine, there are 2 or 3 sizes pending on the year. Mine takes a 3.5", yet the first time I got a 3 5/8, had to take it back. there was also a 3 3/8 or 3 1/4 or something like that.
Anyways, I have a yolk here. You bring the socket and Johnston bar. I don't have the right size nor do I know the size. LOL
