Default Autozone U-joints issue

hi, i just put in new u-joint in my drive shaft but the caps seem to be too small cuase the move after i tighten down the straps.

anyone else ever see this or have this problem? its weird to me because they pressed in fine but slide when bolted to rear diff.

do you think putting on the old caps on could take care of it?

Im a manager for autozone.

What brand did u get DuraJunk gold,Dura reg or Bruteforce?

All of our parts fit diffrently than OEM.Nature of the beast.

Personally seenin I have been gettin fucked by Autonzone parts lately,Just had a clutch and flywheel I put 12 miles on cause the flywheel was out of ballance.I say takem back and go to napa.

Autozone ujoints are crap, Spicer or Neapco is the way to go.

Will a bad u-joint make a thump thump sound? I'm getting this noise that only happens when the car is moving at speed.
