What is this clip type thing on my u joint? When I removed my driveshaft to check the joints for play I noticed it barely hanging on. It’s bent a little too.

Thanks! What was the purpose of that strap?that strap was used on the original u joints in the production line. That u joint is the original u joint
Thanks! What was the purpose of that strap?
So if I put the driveshaft back in without replacing that joint I don’t need that clip at all? Thanks again!just to keep the caps from falling off, it was only on the rear u joints
The guy I was talking to at the shop asked if I could throw that driveshaft back in and bring the whole car down before he checks out that driveshaft! He just wanted to check pinion angle too I believe.you have a vibration that you don't know where it is coming from so why would you not replace a u-joint that has been in the car since it was built.....
