Saw in half, drill for the bolt, the hemishpere shape centers things in the mount holes. Flat side goes outward.
And they are sold in various colors, so my blue balls match my blue truck's blue balls. ;^)
But I guess I could make those out of Urethane too. If there is a market...
Oh by the way, that is the place to start for eliminating vibrations. Shimming the T/C with fender washers to get the fore and aft u-joint angles to match will help a lot with the noise that so many think is normal for these trucks. I needed 1/4" on the front mounts, at which point all three drive line angles came in to perfection. Those four fender washers on each front mount angled it, aligning the out put shaft u-joints, and lowered the front, aligning the intermediate shaft u-jts.
