    All the u-joints I’ve replaced, came with loctite on the bolts and no locking straps.

    We use Meritor brands.

    OK, gotcha. I am brain dead I had in my mind we were talking about the straps on half rounds, not the bend over lock straps . Iirc they quit coming with the joints quite a while back, I have a bin full of them in the bolt bin though, that is why I could not figure out what safety wire would do, since no holes in the bolts on half rounds. do the new full rounds still have holes in them?

    Starmac: I have not seen holes in the bolts on any new joints lately.
