Did I get a defective U-Joint?

[KCTA Chris]

I had a random noise in the running gear around 30 mph letting off gas. Happened once, then again, and now constant... reading past posts it sounds very much like a U joint problem. I noticed my ujoint shaft bolt and retaining washer was a little loose and could be the cause the problem, while my Ford Ujoint looked ok, to be safe I ordered a replacement joint. I read about the defective ones a few years back and also the Bob Drake Issues so ordered from a trusted “A” vendor. This is what I got.... I immediately noticed the splines are not centered in the yoke, in fact the casting is offset leaving some of the yoke egde sticking out further on one side. Before I call to send back wanted to make sure this is defective? Or is it useable and nothing to worry about?
