Can you tell us the Brand/model/Price of the U-joint you used?

fixed! hooray!
For anyone interested....
My driveshaft was warped, not properly balanced, u-joints were bad. Now
it's all fixed. I had the shaft straightened, balanced, and the joints
replaced with the greaseable type.
The symptoms now fixed:
1) clink/clank/clunk noise when accelerating is now gone
2) rear view mirror no longer vibrates - the rear view is now crystal
clear!
It makes such a difference. The car doesn't sound sick anymore.
thx all for all your helpful advice on my inquiries.
-Eric
