Another potential problem is that the U-joint cups can become loose in their
holes in the yokes. The metal of the yokes can apparently expand after much
use. You can spot this problem because the cups will creep round and round,
and the top of the cup will be shiny under the circlips where it has been
rubbing against the circlip.
The only sure cure is to replace the flange and/or axle shaft.
Probably you could replace just the yoke on the axle shaft, but
you would need a jumbo press! Possibly one of those Permatex
or Loctite products could fill the gap around the cup...
