>Question for the list.  I have been told that the propeller shaft be

done this, and wether it makes any noticable difference.

Depends on how well ballanced the driveshaft is after replacement.  You
might get lucky.  I had a vibration so I took my shaft to a driveshaft
specialist and they said my cheap U-joints had too much slop so they change
them out for Hardy-Spicer and then balanced the shaft and it helped quite a
bit.
