U-Joints?
Just got a used Driveshaft from a junkyard.

I chose the newest looking one.

How do I exactly check if the U-joints are good?

They should move easily withou any binding or sticking. Also shouldn't have any play in the joints themselves.

Okay. They move around easily - Check

No play in the joints - Check
