U Joints keep breaking

[Chriss LS3/4V]

1 have replaced my u joints 3 times this month. I can't figure out why. I've bought all different brands thinking defective or crappy product. Auto zone brand to Moog still same result. Anyone have any idea what would cause this?

well, maybe the yoke's were damaged when it initially failed (spread apart, out of round, ovalled), or you got the wrong u-joints, or the driveshaft itself is damaged.  Or the u-joints weren't installed correctly.

I had a similar problem with joints busting every 3-6 months. With my truck having a 8" lift, I examined the the angle my drive shaft was sitting from the trans to the rear axle and having two blocks under each spring (a 3" +5"=8") the blocks ended up not being installed in the correct fashion. By turning the blocks rear to front facing I was able to decrease the angle and give the drive shaft a better sitting angle. Since then, I've replaced the u joint once over the past 3 years.
