      Excellent service, good price and best of all no more vibrations!
      Perhaps instead of wasting my money on a "race" big brake kit for my car which most likely will never see a track.... I'll replace my 22 yo driveshaft. Thanks for the good link. Hope this helps the OP as well

        Probably your U-joints like has already been said. Mine were both shot. Broke the metal on my first CSB and then tore the rubber on the one I replaced it with. Once I found out both U-joints were fuxxed, I bought a driveshaft on a half-off day with smooth joints and CSB and now it drives nice. Check both U-joints.

          I get this noise that sounds like a fat kid giggling under the car whenever I clutch in and coast. Any wisdom on what that could be?

            Well I got the shaft reballanced and they put a new csb in, they said he one I got from pelican parts didnt look good, the vibration is better only starts around 75 mph now and is not quite as bad. I really dont feel like taking it off again so im gonna just live with it until i do a swap one day.
