I did replace the u-joints in my TR3A when I rebuilt my driveshaft. Went
fairly smoothly, got it right, but wanted to be sure about the balance. I do
recommend taking the final product to a place that balances driveshafts. In my
case, while I had installed the u-joints "okay," the professionals whacked the
heck out of them to get them rotating smoothly and welded the frame of a Mack
truck onto the shaft as a balance weight. Don't want a shimmy at high speeds
if you kick it to a hundred like I did (not so unintentionally) on the way home
tonight.
Man, I love this car!
