Default Re: U joint felt seals.. how do you fit them?

I've cut strips of cork gasket material to lay in the groove to take up some of the space making them fit tighter. I use a little bit of silicone gasket maker to stick the cork into the bottom of the groove and a bit of the same to stick the felt to the cork. This makes for a better compression fit when assembled. I do not use the gasket maker on both sides of the felt so it still has the ability to move/slide as needed while going down the road.
