I've had problems with several u-joint manufacturers. It seems that some of
the off-shore manufacturers aren't machining the ends of the u-joints and
are a smosch bit longer. The only way I could get a decent fit was to use
Spicer u-joints (expensive) and they fir good. I checked all my u-joints I
had in stock , and they all had some sort of problem (GMB I believe)
