IIRC both front use the internal "C" clip to center the joint, the rear on the driveshaft same, don't recall how the one on the diff yoke centers.
Something that caught my eye but might be just grease and dirt, Is that a crack?

Aftermarket U-joints and one rear joint failed in the past based on the yoke and retainer plate scars.
If cups have the 'C' clip properly installed, then the cup sticking out a little bit is OK.
Yeah. That’s a good catch dana67dart. Hard to tell. I’ll have to get a better look. With those scars on the yoke, would you think it’s still sound ? I know it’s kind of impossible to tell just by a pic. From my totally untrained eye the front looks better than the back, I’m just wondering if I should take it in and get it checked out. I was able to get the car up to about 50mph (not more because of brake situation which I’m working on) and everything felt ok. No vibrations.
