Sooo what was wrong with your driveshaft? My buddy is kinda having the same problem. I will be over there tom to get a hands on feel but from what he explained sounds alot like this. Were they bent? Just un balanced?

The center bearing is shot and they are having a hard time locating one.

The carrier bearing, that's the center bearing thing you are referring to (which is one of the things I told you to check), is not replaceable. You have to change out the whole driveshaft. The stock driveshaft is a piece of crap. I replaced mine with a high performance one from Gforce1320.

Posting a question on a car enthusiast do-it-yourself forum and then ignoring what was said to just take the car to the stealership seems a bit asinine to me.

it's not that I don't appreciate the advice but if I can just drop it off and have it fixed for free why would I waste my time. I have better things to do with my time than work on a car that can be fixed free of charge. i just bought the car so I wasn't sure if this was a known issue. I will talk to then about a ds from gforce1320 and see.what they say,.thanks for the site!
