Default driveshaft trouble

OK I had someone fix my trans and since it came back, at about5000 rpm the driveshaft vibrates really bad... if it was dropped from the car while on the lift, can it be "tweaked" and out of shape?? but it also has a small spot that looks chewed up like its had something slammed up on it will that do it too?? cause its getting real annoying.. and if so where can i get another one??? thanks in advance for any input

You can always have it rebalanced, or just pick up a new shaft from a sponsor or the for sale forum here.

Before spending money, I'd disconnect it from the rear, rotate it 180 and see if that helps.

I would try swapping the drive shaft with a freinds to make sure that was the problem. How tight are the nuts on the u-bolts?(they are not suppost to be really tight)
