Question how long will this last?

hey guys ! i just haved problems w/ my driveshaft and i had to replace the front u-joint for a rockford 430-10 for a couple days it was fine but a couple days start to vibrate a lil 'bit so i found out that when i was cleaning and grinding the shaft to make the new joint fit, i did grind the shaft holes i lil too much! it did fit but the cap now turns and had a little play !so i decide to weld 4 dots on each hole just to make shure that the new joint does not go anywhere ! i did take off a few time i try to hit it hard and it is fine ! how long do you guys think this u-joint will last? i has a grease fitting so i'm gonna try to keep it full ! thax for any help !
