That's what I'm thinking, but wasn't going to eliminate a slip yoke and or joint phasing problem without seeing a picture or a good description of what he has.

For example, both of these shafts could be assembled wrong http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/driveline/setup/a.jpg
But one with yokes welded on each end can not be assembled wrong... (unless welded together wrong to start with)
