I want to clarify that I would not have considered not changing the u joints after all the work I went through to remove the drive shaft because the rear was attached to the pinion gear with red Loctite. Took a lot of pounding to get the bolts loose. After the shaft was removed from the vehicle I rotated the joints by hand to try to detect any roughness or looseness and found that they rotated smoothly and I didn't detect any rusty looking metallic particles on the exterior of the cups. I only mentioned that the u joints did not seem to be worn and causing the vibration out of concern for locating the source of the problem. Heck the cost of two new u joints is nothing compared to the cost of repairing the drive shaft and the couple hours to remove and install the shaft. I don't believe in being cheap when it comes to vehicle repair because I really value my time.
