[Chevelle-list] 12 Bolt yoke

[Keith Anderson]

Ryan,

Don't worry about whether the yoke has straps or U-bolts.  Just make sure 
your U-joint fits in the yoke properly.  When you get around to installing 
your driveshaft, make sure not to over tighten the U-bolts!  Over tightening 
can distort the cap which could lead to premature U-joint failure.
