Good ol' front Drive Shaft!!!
#14
Hmmm, thats odd, i agree, maybe the balancing didn't go right because mine is smoothe as a babies butt man, rides just as it did before AND i'm not worried about it coming apart and tearing up my tranny!! I used the SAME exact parts that you did to a "T" to rebuild my drive shaft, i also cleaned it and spray painted it black and greased it before I got it balanced so it looks brand spankin new...
did you ever figure out why it isn't riding smooth?

I located a Disco front drive shaft at a local import recycling yard that I plan to get and build up with the greasable u-joints then swap out with my original unit which I will also rebuild and hold onto as a spare.
Very interested in best source and prices for best greasable u-joints to use, since I will be doing two driveshafts. Also any problems encountered. Thanks

Hey Danny Lee, I got all of my U-Joints from HERE, and the centering ball HERE!! After that, I had a pretty hard time locating the U-Joint tool so I just went to Harbor Freight and bought one, then returned it after I finished using it... Don't usually do that, but I don't usually rebuild drive shafts either so.. you get the picture right!! Anyways, once you get that tool, its pretty easy to get the old ones out!! Make sure and clean the drive shaft real good, that will make installing the new ones a little bit easier and try your best to stay calm and not BEAT the hell out of the new ones because you will have to start all over!!
Best of luck to you man, let us know how it goes!
Regards,
