    its coming off the axle side? is it a stock rear shaft? if its tightened down it shouldnt just fall out.

            you either have a billion horsepower or a god awful pinion angle that is putting the ujoint under some heavy stress.

            post some pictures.

                    the "u-bolt style" yoke is better than the "strap style"

                      I feel like you possibly have a wrong sized joint? Or maybe your caps are magled?

                      My jeep hahad that style for years andnever had anissue dropping shafts

                        how is it falling out, it is eating the u-joint , breaking it ? or does it just fall apart but nothing breaks ?.

                        you made a thread last time for the same thing. gives us some info this time.

                        either theres something wrong with your yoke, your not using right u-joint/installing properly, bad angle on shaft, possible driveshaft length issue.

                        which one is it

                            TAKE IT TO A MOTHER FUCKING MECHANIC.


                            YOU KNOW SOMEONE THAT HOPEFULLY KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. DRIVESHAFTS DON'T JUST FALL OUT FOR NO REASON. AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PRETTY ONGOING PROBLEM.
