Been saying this forever, if the driveshaft is of unknown origin, or original to the car (and you bought the car new), then replace it.

You spend X on a driveline, and then cheap-out on a driveshaft? What sense does that make?

How would you feel if it suddenly & randomly just failed? Uh-huh. Then the question you would be asking yourself is 'Why didn't I just go ahead and replace in the first place?'

I've seen people chase a vibration and then in the end figure out it's the crappy old wheels on the car. Or crappy tires. Or the yoke on the differential and the u-joint isn't seated correctly. Or an old slip yoke/rear trans bushing.

Just do it.
