I replaced my U joints the other day because they were starting to squeak, and now I have a vibration at 65+

When I pulled the drive shaft, I completely spaced and forgot to mark it. I pulled it back in and lined up, they're rear slip yoke with the front slip yoke the best I could assuming it would be similar to a 2 piece drive shaft but the vibration is still there.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have 2 and a half hour drive coming up on thursday

the ears of the yokes need to be in line with each other. you can eye ball it easy enough.

Years ago on my 01 hoe i started getting a driveline vibration.. i did the u joints, still there. While i was under it and i noticed a non rusty spot on the driveshaft, looked like something was tack welded on there. I pulled the driveshaft and took it to be balanced figured wtf cant hurt… vibration gone, guy even painted the driveshaft. Ps chock the wheels…. I completely spaced that time and when i finally got the driveshaft out….mfer rolled and scared the balls off me

When I pulled the shaft to do the u joints I checked it for that and didn't see any weights missing. Im pulling it again today after work to double check the u joints are moving freely. I will check that as well

Well im taking it to a shop. I noticed some fluid on the rear yoke and when I checking for play it's pretty bad im thinking a bushing and maybe a bearing. I tried uploading a video but it wont let me. So I took screen shots at the furthest point of travel
