I've the same problem on a '60 Bel Aire driveshaft. One of the
cups had (long ago) lost all it's bearings and grease, and had
mangled the cup some :-(. I did all of the below also. Is it
likely that the yoke distorted? If so, I assume that means
replacement of the 2 yokes (both have the problem)? Should
I give up and just take it to a driveshaft place?
