I just took my driveshaft out this weekend and I seem to remember it
only rotated about 1/8" - 1/4" when connected.  As others have
suggested, I would start there.  Once the shaft is out you can check the
u-joints by making sure they are tight but turn freely.  If they're
shot, you can check the archives for _lots_ of postings about u-joint
replacement.
