Rebuilding the propshaft from an RS2, and the U-joint in the middle has no play and moves smooth, but it clicks in the straight ahead position (on both axis).
Is this a normal function?
Thanks!

Thanks, I looked those up, but those gkn 12111 or u471 dimensions seem to be different then on an RS2. I quickly measured the diameter of a u joint bearing and I got about 23.8mm. Total diameter of the X is also only around 65mm max ( would need to remove to check exactly)
I got these part numbers from the shop for the staked in u-joint for my 1994 URS4 driveshaft.

I see you smashed the **** out of the ear to get that thing apart. Best way is to just put a lever on the bolt and back it out, comes off so easy compared to hitting the ear you wouldn't believe it.
Maybe talk to a shop about whether the shaft needs to be balanced after changing the u-joint.
Any good shop can source the u-joint required, stake in a new one, and balance.
