Hi,
What on the drive shaft is failing? For example, is it one of the universal joints that is coming apart? See pic below. Check to see if that is where the play is coming from either of the joints.
As far as failure, it could also be related to balance. If you felt any vibration when it was new, it may simply be out of balance right from the box. Pay attention to see if you notice that as well with the new one.
Let me know. Also, let me know exactly how the driveshaft failed.
Take care,
Joe
