When I installed the driveshaft I forgot to put the clips on the caps that get bolted onto the differential... It was a really stupid and dangerous mistake.
It came apart on the freeway going 80mph but didn't fall out completely. It dragged on the smooth asphalt for a couple hundred feet.
Both caps were lost and the straps were chewed up...
I have a new ujoint and straps on the way.
