Punctuation (that is periods(.) and commas (,)) would make your question much easier to understand. If you are using cheap parts store u-joints, that could be a problem.

I appreciate your kind of suggestion on my punctuation I will endeavor to comply with that suggestion in the future. I make no guarantees though . I am quite well spoken. But as far as the written word goes I would say that I am sadly lacking the tools to properly structure a sentence. So please bear with me. With that said and done yes when I reverse my vehicle it feels as though it's binding up I'm wondering if perhaps maybe the rear end got knocked out of alignment front to back or side to side I'm not sure but that's my hypothesis. I don't not believe it's cheap parts. I believe there is a alignment issue, but your the carguru not me. I'm probably wrong

A universal joint is designed to flex or run properly not being lined up. It is possible that the rear end is knocked out of alignment, but not sure if it would eat u-joints unless the out of alignment issue was severe. Perhaps take it to an alignment shop and they can do some measuring to see if it is out of whack.
