But the u joints were too long by about 1/16 of an inch in one direction, which made snap ring seating difficult.  I am worried the rings will pop out when I drive it.  I just hope I notice before the u joint lets go.  Definitely not one of the better vendor experiences, especially since I called around and paid this guy extra for the "correct ujoints"

Are you saying that the U-joints were not symmerical?

The original U-joints have the same dimensions on all legs. Or are you 
saying that one of the legs is too long? That would happen if one of the 
needles drops to the bottom of the cup during assembly.
