So I'm putting in a new torque arm with a drive shaft loop and I take my drive-shaft off and find this. Not sure how well you can see but the plate that connects the two ends of the yoke, that fit into the rear end, is broken. Honestly I've taken it off numerous times and never even noticed the plate, is this something I need to worry about? Seems like the yoke still spins fine.

Its a retainer to keep the caps from coming off. Pop it the rest of the way off if it bothers you. It wont hurt anything to leave it as-is

He's 100% right. While its apart remove the caps and look for ridges in the little shafts. If you find any replace the U joint, if not put a little grease in the cups and put them back on. Try not to let the little needle bearing fall out of the cups or you'll say bad things about me.

Appreciate the input. I'll have to try that later Big Al, my dd is out of commission right now so I had to put the camaro back together until it gets fixed.
