Hi,

If you get noise and vibration, my first suspect is a worn universal joint. I'm not sure if you checked them, but that is certainly where I would start.

Take a look at this link. Note the link is to help diagnose a universal joint issue and explains in general how to replace one.

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
