I am changing out my u-joints, and the new ones have 2 bearings (across from each other) that are slightly too big. I'm afraid to beat on them or I may break the hole.
Has anyone else had this problem? It's the same issue on both ends of the driveshaft. The new joints have 2 bearings the right size, and 2 that are slightly larger. My tranny yoke end has 4 holes the smaller size, and my differntial end has 4 holes the smaller size.
Do I need to buy 2 more joints and mix and match the bearings? The auto parts store swears that this should fix my truck, but I don't see how. They even checked above and below years to see if the part numbers were the same... they are.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
