I have had my driveshaft off for a while now, and got it rebuilt.  I forget
which end the vibration damper goes on. . .

BTW, anyone ever have any experience with NEAPCO u-joints?
 (part number 1-0321 I think)  The drive shaft place matched them for size.
They are available everywhere now that I found out the number, NAPA,
Canadian Tire, etc.  The freaky thing was that the driveshaft place had
them in stock and they were under 20 bucks each (canadian).  I am still a
bit skeptical because nothing has ever been this easy for my van. . .
