Loose U Joint Clamps
I just saw in another thread, (which I didn't want to hijack), that the owner thought his U Joint clamps had come loose. That made me think it had happened to him before.
When I bought my '76 last year, while checking everything over, I found two loose U joint clamps.
Is this a common thing, that should be checked regularly, like when you change the oil and grease the car?

They may be incorrect for whatever size U joints are in the shaft: 1310, 1330, etc. As the joints get larger the caps get larger, I have a chart somewhere but I think 1310 and 1330 are the same diameter, 1350 is larger?
