Bad u-joints will often seize before they get any play in them, and you can't see that by just looking for play. You have to disconnect one end of the propshaft and see if you have smooth movement of the u-joints in all directions.
Obviously if you have play in them they are bad too.

I just did mine. I replaced the U-joints by going to Auto-zone and asking for the part numbers. What you need is 2 Precision #344 grease-able u-joints and 1 Precision #617 centering ball kit. I brought my shaft to the shop with those parts for the rebuild. My Local driveline shop refused to change the center-ball b/c the rover one was "much beefier and in perfect condition". My truck has 62K on it, yours may be more worn. This shop just builds drive lines all day long--I was not going to argue with them. The parts cost me $24 and the labor $40. Removing the drive shaft is as simple as 8 bolts all 9/16. It won't take much work, anyone is capable of this level of wrenching (even a mechanical retard).
