[QUOTE="CJK440, post: 11288328, member: 43980"] Even more of a problem than the bushing is what nobody considers, the inside of the slip yoke. Bushings wear and might cause some slight misalignment of the output yoke but what people don't consider is all those miles of the slip yoke splines stroking the output shaft with every movement of the rear suspension. Eventually those splines wear and allows for a slight wobble of the slipyoke on the output. While it may seem minor, it only takes a slight bit of slop to throw the u-joint yoke off center and allow the front end of the d-shaft to orbit instead of stay central. I had a similar issue with an vintage musclecar and went nuts until I replaced the slip yoke. There was no comparison between the fit of the old and the new on the output. I could even feel it with my finger. Just one other thing to consider however new shaft in '03 doesn't seem like it would fail that quickly unless there was lots of miles. [/QUOTE]
