Question 2006 Liberty Vibes?

Hey guys,

A friend/co-worker of mine had to get her hubby's Liberty towed to the shop today due to really bad driveline vibrations. The shop says it believes it to be the driveshaft, possibly U-joints by the sounds of it to me. A different shop said parts could be $180 alone. now I KNOW U-joints don't cost near that much. The Liberty is all stock and a daily driver and no off-roading. Are there any known issues with these Liberties, or any advice on where to start?

Thanks!

The earlier models had a recall on the ball joints.

Well yesterday they found it was in fact the rear U-joint on the drive shaft. Poor guy was charged $350 for the repair which seems outrageous to me. It's tough to find an honest mechanic around here!
