U joint and pinion yoke issues
I’m having problems with my u joints and driveshaft. I have replaced many before but it’s strange on this car because the 8.5 10 bolt pinion yoke has no “pocket” for the u joint caps to sit in. I replaced the rear u joint with a Moog 534 and some new u joint straps and bolts. I torqued them properly and the driveshaft came off the car in 2 blocks! It’s as if the straps don’t clamp the u joints tight enough. Is the pinion yoke just worn out or am I missing something really simple?

The yoke is supposed to have tabs at either end that the u-joint caps fit snugly between. If yours doesn't have the tabs, you need to replace the yoke because either the tabs snapped off or someone "removed" them.
