u joints

so when i place in reverse hard shift and sometimes it stalls. so i replaced all 3 u-joints in it and the problem went away. took it to about 60mph and it started to shake so i drove it back home now it stalls again when i place it back in reverse. what would cause me to blow out my u joints so fast? think my driveshaft off balance or my carrier barring shot? seemed to be in good shape but im not sure should i replace them again with a new carrier barring see what happens

Stalling has nothing to do with U-joints. Carrier bearings do wear out tho, so that maybe it... And you can always take your driveshafts to a shop and have them check them for balancing.
