I've replaced U-Joints and balanced the driveshaft, now it's time to install it.

But How?

Yoke is 98 mm wide and U-Joint is 92 mm wide, how to put it straight in line?

I think last U-joint was fitted exactly to the yoke, but maybe this is only my imagination...

I don't have the old U-joints I left them at the workshop.

The u-joint in the second photo should have come with four snap rings, yes?

Put the two extra ones on the cups for the differential yoke. The snap rings will allow the u-joint to center itself in the differential yoke.

the caps do not go all the way to the outside of the yoke, so the yoke should be wider than the joint ... or at least it looks like the old one did not go all the way to the ends anyway

They didn't gave me anything more in the workshop.

It is wider, so how to center it?

to center it, if you do not have clips, take some single strand 12 gauge wire and wrap it where the clips would go ... the clips/wire should not be there to take any stress, just to line it up ... or you could get 2 3mm washers and put one at each end while you clamp it on
