Vibration coming in at approx 25-30mph with what sounds like a ticking got home jacked up the rear of the car tried to shake the driveshaft at the Diff but no play that i could see went to the front of the shaft by the trans same thing started the car popped it in first and let it cruise at idle while lookin at the shaft noticed it was kinda bowing up and then down....(yeah it's my fault for ****** around in the car)



so my question is if the Ujoints are out would it give the appearance that the driveshaft is bent?

if you take it to a drive shaft shop they can put it on a balancer

I dropped the Driveshaft today and the front Ujoint wasn't moving.

So i'm going to be going to Autozone to pick up a new set



It kinda sucks being a pessimist but the good thing about being one is i'm not hit with any kind of sticker shock when it comes to repair or replace
