Well almost never! Check the pic in my thread.
w123 u-joint.
Look closely at the lower pivot arm on the U-joint and you'll see cracks around the arm. (Tom, do you still have the pic I sent with the arrows? Post it if you can.) The collar moves laterally along this arm. Symptoms are vibration at 25mph and above. The bearing support carrier rubber and flex discs appear ok, but they will be replaced with the new DS.
