    He may have seen worse. Here's the deal though, it's only going to get worse as its beating around. Go to YouTube and search for otrperformance. They have a bid of a blue Volvo doing a burn out. They show it in slow motion and you can see driveshaft and what it has to endure
     
    Dorsey Thanks this.

    YouTube says that video is private. The only way i found it is off their Facebook account. At least i think that is the one.

    I don't have a grease fitting on my slip yoke. Why would that be?

    They are referred to as "maintenance free". Just a way of saying "use it till it wears out then buy a new one"

    I've replaced everything except the front part of the drive shafts between the Trans and carrier bearing, the very front u joint, and carrier bearing. Still have the vibration. Anyone wanna buy a stinger?!

    I have the slightest vibration only during a hill climb with a load. The carrier bearing felt tight but, I dropped it and spun the bearing around the drive shaft, it spun freely but, sounded dry. I ordered a new Spicer unit and nut, will let you know if it helps.

    How are your driveline angles?
