It is almost impossible to check the condition while the driveshaft is installed in the car. If installed and you can feel play it is up to a dangerious condition. Remove the drive shaft from the car and check the joints for binding, roughness or play. If any is felt replace the joint. After installing a new joint it should be free not stiff. If stiff tap on the driveshaft yokes to allow the ears to spread removing the bind from the joints.

Thanks Phil, I will do some checking today and find out. The wheels were chucking when rolled.I put it in the air and the chucking is gone. I,m checking the rear end for the problem also. I prabably should chage the u joints and have the shaft balanced. For piece of mind. Thanks Errol
