Recently, I replaced the rear universal joint on my dodge Van 350. It shook before and it now shakes when I exceed 25 miles per hour.

Double check to make sure the joint is properly centered in the yoke. Also, check the other joint. If you tightened one side, the other may now be causing a noticeable problem too. If you are sure the driveshaft is the cause, remove and have it balanced. Some come with weights attached that balance and can break off.
