joints do wear and that weakens them allowing slop as you takeup drive / gear change etc leading to failure.Should be back on the road soon.

Had the cover of mine 2009sd to check today while up on the lift and looks like earlier cars don't have a uj on the shaft which is probably why it only became an issue from 2011 on.
