Not sure if you replaced the joint or if someone else did. I've replaced a bout 50 of those types of joints ( being a farm boy ) after pressing the joints into place I take a hammer and strike the yoke so as to bring the bearing cap back out tight to the yoke stop ....if after replacing the joint you feel that it's a bit stiff in motion, a strike on each side of the yoke tends to get all the pieces into place so they play nice, Hope this helps someone .
