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.

it should not have play in it. take the shaft off and drive it. if the vibes are there, you know the problem is.
