Cool 98 bent driveshaft?

I think I finally found my vibration problem above 60 mph. What do you guys think? Does this drive shaft look right? Theres a small dent in it from the previous owner, I bet this is what caused it to warp.

Yep, I think you found your problem. I would also check the input/output seals and the u-joints. That much vibration might have caused some damage.

well if I'm gonna replace the shaft, I may as well replace the ujoints and seals with it. So I'm guessing I'm right? It's not suppossed to shake like that is it?
