If you aren't removing the caps, you're not REALLY checking them. Of course, nobody removes caps to check joints except for those caps that slide off when the driveshaft is removed from the vehicle. Point is, even the minimal extra labor to remove the shaft--while helpful--doesn't guarantee that the joints can be properly inspected.I checked all my ujoints all the way back and I tried to move and wiggle them but everything was tight
Yup. I've had more u-joints fail by tightening up and getting notchy than loosening up. Just yesterday my wife's Chrysler started humming at speed on the throttle, and I'm pretty sure when I take the driveshaft loose I'm going to have a stiff u-joint.Trying to verify the condition of U-joints without removing the driveshaft is hopeless.

Trying to verify the condition of U-joints without removing the driveshaft is hopeless. Unless the joints are ready to break, you're not likely to find problems with them.
This is quite helpful. And here I thought I‘d checked mine. Evidently not.Yup. I've had more u-joints fail by tightening up and getting notchy than loosening up.
