Default U-joint wear

Maybe someone can help me with a problem I'm having.

My car tends to "eat" the rear universal joint in 1000 miles or so. BUT it only damages the two cups that are bolted (u bolts) to the pinion yoke. The other two bearings (pressed into the drive shaft) are perfect. If it were a misalignment wouldn't all four bearings show wear?

The car has NO vibrationg in the driveline either under acceleration of deceleration.

Any ideas?

Regards,
