Hi Chris,

I feel your pain, I have been fighting the vibration demons myself.

A good driveline shop can replace the joints with joints from Bondioli &
Pavesi (an Italian company), part #
41203, size 27 x 70.

It was cheaper for me to do that then to buy a new shaft because the shop
determined that my rubber donut and bushings were fine.

A great shop to deal with is Driveline Service (9041 NE Vancouver Way,
Portland, OR 97211 telephone 503-289-2264)

They can sell you a new driveshaft just like the Gowesty one or repair your
shaft if possible.

Good luck

Lee
