The guy doing the work wants to drop the rear end to pull it apart and find out what can be fixed/what needs replacing/etc.
Here's a recap of the problems: At about 30 miles an hour I get a very noticable shake, and at 45 its very bad. Yet when I accelerate or put a load on the drive train, it seems to fade. Only when I'm at speed or decelerating do I get a really bad shake.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to replace or repair the forward u-joint, but what can I expect from the Torque Tube drive shaft? Any parts that can be replaced or repaired?
