hahaha you guys are crazy ... caps is yelling? thats something new to me ... i could never tell the way a person is typing something whether its a joke or serious or whatever .. i usually type in capitals ... 
my first u joint was next to the rear pass wheel ... then it was the one towards the center ... and i just had my rear pass wheel u joint changed and i know the center one is going out as well pretty soon ... when i start driving her i have to get that done ... by that time i will have done the LS1/T56 swap completed

What is the part number and brand of u-joints you are using?
How are you diagnosing it as a u-joint?
What did the bad u-joints look like when you removed them?

ugh... get Spicer ujoints... that could be part of your problem.
check the bearings - if they are bad, funny things can happen.
also, make sure the alignment is good.
Finally, make sure that halfshaft isn't bent!!!

If you haven't changed the bearings I would suspect them as a possible culprit
