Yep,
I just jacked the car up and the front U-Joint is bad,  lots of movement, 
both rotational and translated side to side, and up and doun.  Last night I 
tried to check it with the car off jacks and was unable to move much.  

Thanks for the tech tips on proper installation of drive shaft!  

The surprising thing to me is how fast this developed.  I was driving around 
last weekend as it was sunny.  I put in 40 to 60 miles, and then a mile from 
home in stop and go traffic it started.  And it was there just in the matter 
of blocks.  At first it felt like it may have been coming from the passengers 
front, but the strange thing was that it did not come through the steering or 
brakes and was not RPM related.  As it got stronger, it was evident that it 
was in the drive train.

Thanks again.
