Re: u joint

Straps are supposed to be a one time use. When to bolt gets tightened down they will actually stretch some to lock the u-joint cap down. when that doesn't happen the cap will spin and act like a small lathe and remove the end tab/s. If you look at the old cap it should have a polished circle where it was spinning.
