Re: universal joints
ahhhh yes. the wonderful teardrop carrier bearing. yes, they break alot (at least i hear about them on the board). my trucks have the horseshoe design bearings and i have had no problems. i don't know if they can be retrofitted. otherwise i would run a one piece shaft.

Re: universal joints
wow, I've had the rubber sling apart from age, but I've never encoutered that problem. I'd be suspicious of the possibility of another problem either in the driveline or in the quality of the part. I just bought one from O'Rielly's and it looks a bit beefy-er than that one.
