Bad yoke and slip joint after alignment?

Hilarious thread,now you arguments with yourself?
If you stressed over a 'nothing' issue as this,how you handle real big deals?

 

How much do you value your time? Also, if the U-joint breaks and you want to claim a warranty, who provides the labor?
Parts supplier won't because they didn't do the work. Mechanic won't because they didn't supply the part.
That is a lot of extra time for the shop doing the work to have a service bay occupied for you to run and get parts. That is very nice of them to let you do it.
Good luck

 

$100 says the shop will run into “problems” replacing the yolks so they can pad their labor time since he’s complaining about markups on the u joints anyway. It’s all going to be a lot of wasted time to come out a wash at the end.

 

This whole topic has gone to hell in a hand basket. The guy is cheap can't blame him for trying but he's defeating himself. I say let him do it HIS way and don't try to educate him. He has to learn the HARD way and I am outta here.

 

To be fair I had to learn this same **** that way too. Lesson I took there was learn how to DIY everything possible. Obviously some things are not DIY. Gonna have to pay somebody to get new yokes welded on or maybe just buy a new shaft but there's a LOT $$$ to be saved in all the labor dropping the shafts out and reinstalling with new u-joints and it can be done in the driveway with basic hand tools by a layman.

 

I know that you don't seem to understand, so I won't insult you. But no you can't. @Goodysnap gave you good advice. You can just replace the yolk to buy you some time while you save some money. But the last thing you want is to loose a driveshaft while driving. It will cause an enormous amount of damage.
