The caps must be loose if they are turning. Is it the cap in the shaft, or the yoke? Does the yoke use u-bolts, or the u-shaped straps that bolt on? You could lightly center punch the surface of the yokes to tighten them up.

 

[Jc cooper]

Yes that on yoke , I have done that before as a knurl , strap type yoke

If it has straps are they the right ones?

Be sure the bolts are not running out of threads before they are tight
