Yes...the u-joint has roller bearings and a cross shaft.. x/y movement should be perfectly smooth. When there is notching, one of the rollers has worn a slot/notch into the cross surface and the notching you feel is the rollers popping in/out of the wear notch..probably more than one.
Time for a joint ..
Get one with the greazzzze fitting if you can find it.
