The joint at the rear diff is the one I have had problems with. I went to NAPA and replaced them with greaseable joints no more problems. I did replace them at 400,000 mile mark just because of the miles on them.

If you are looking for the strongest, readily available u-joint; buy Spicer non-greasable.

Other brands may work, but I can promise you that they wont last as long as a genuine spicer.

If I was pulling,I would take the shaft to a good driveline shop and increase the joint and yoke size.
