I guess this is how they balance axles these days. Kinda price y but I doubt I’ll ever have to have a U-Joint replaced on this car again as long as I live.

I’d be more concerned about the zip ties on the boots. See if you can find some proper clamps before installing those.

That’s not the cleanest weld, but it’ll hold unless you’re going to Bonneville.

Amazingly the car was OEM with plastic zip tie like clamps on the boots. They lasted 49 years, I don’t see them having issues in the near future.
