Everytime i accelerate from a stopping point, i hear a knock you can feel. it sounds like it is coming from the drive shaft but i am not sure. another problem is whenever i am coming to a stop, the steering wheel shakes alot and it feels as if the brake rotors are messed up. i had a friend tell me that it may be the u joint , but we are not sure. any suggestions are welcome. thanks

Yea, it sounds like a u-joint. With 170000 miles they probably need replacing, or at least should be checked. Keep me posted
