The slip part of my front driveshaft can move up and down.. not a whole lot but just enough to move and it makes me wonder if that would be causing problems for me. i got a refurb front shaft for my hack n tap and its solid. makes me question my current front shaft.

Sorry to hijack your thread but i figured we might both be getting answers.
