Now, during this discussion, I have inadvertently failed to mention that the amount of play in the u-joint that I took out was very, very little.  My wife can't feel any looseness, but I can.  It's such a small amount of play, I had to take a second AND a third look at it.  It is impossible for me to convey how little it moves, but compared to the replacement part, it is loose.

Ya know, you don't have to try the vice/channel lock trick to see if it amplifies the looseness in the joint but it might be a data point the group can use to determine the worthiness of  their own....no pressure.....maybe you don't have a vice.... :-\ :-\
