Here's another thing that I've learned over the years...
Since there's NO POSSIBLE WAY to get a torque wrench on the u-bolts -- everyone over tighten's 'em.
Snug these nuts until the SPLIT WASHER closes.... and give it 1/8th more turn.
That's not much!!! So be careful!!
Once a split washer is "closed" it's going to do it's job of not letting the nut back off... the 1/8th addition turn is the torque spec.
Over tightening these will allow your drive line to turn --- but IT WILL CAUSE VIBRATION because it's grinding against an oval bearing cap.
Not saying you did this -- just adding this info because lots of people read this stuff.
