A strap kit is a common companion to a U-joint replacement. Renew the straps and bolts if the originals are stretched, damaged or corroded, or have stripped threads. Loose or failed straps may let the bearing caps shift in the yoke, which can show up as driveline clunks or vibration. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and tighten the bolts to the vehicle's service specification.
