PROBLEM SOLVED!

the source of the problem was several needles had come loose when i dropped the old U-Joint Cap.

I bought a new U-Joint at a local auto parts store (with lifetime warranty) for $13.99 + tax.

after i installed it, no more vibrations were present at 40-65 mph.

BIG TIME KUDOS to everyone who chimed in.
I truly appreciate your help.
