I've seen drivelines that were slightly bent; Perhaps that's the case. However, it would be accompanied by vibration. If it is, try getting the rear wheels off the ground and run the engine in 4th gear. While the driveline's spinning furiously (and I'm sure you know this, but don't get your ponytail or whatever caught in the thing), carefully hold the shaft of a loooooong screwdriver perpendicularly against it and see if it wiggles. If it does, you got yourself a bendy driveline. Even a little bit of wiggle is too much. Has this problem been evident ever since the driveline was put in? A common mistake people make is to put the driveline in incorrectly; It's a little difficult to explain, but the "U" on the rear of the shaft you put in must line up with the same "U" on the piece you're inserting it into. Know what I mean? If someone else can describe this in a more articulate manner, I welcome it. Check to see if that's the case and keep us posted--

Best,

Ben
