Rear U-Joint Problem-Driveline Alignment
I had to recenty change the rear u-joint on my 2001 F250. In the last 20,000 miles I have had to put in 3 more u-joints and a yoke. Someone said the driveline didn't get lined up properly and that is causing the u-joint to spin in the yoke. Does anyone know how I would go about aligning the driveline?

Thanks for the welcome. It is a 4x4 Superduty. No lift kit. The u-joint was first changed at about 70,000. Never had a problem before that but I sure have since!
