It doesn't even have to be a \ angle on the shafts. The rear driveshaft is about 5* out of spec on the Screwball, and I shell out the rear Ujoint about every 4th or 5th time I drive the truck. Then again, it could be that those 4500RPM clutch drops against buried 38" Boggers exceeds the Ujoint stress limit! Who'da thunk it?!?
