had a nasty clank followed by some vibration. the dampner collar on the driveshaft came loose and was flopping around by the front U joint. the rubber let go, not surprising with 342,900 miles on it.
pulled it off, I'm wondering if anybody has any info on possible issues with it being removed long term.

My credo
Break it right the first time. Fix it better the next time.
I had mine taken off at the driveshaft shop whenever I put my V8 in but they also balanced it without. All I can tell you is run it and see no vibrations then good to go.

there seems to be more noise and vibration now. maybe I'm listening more for it, maybe its the 343,500 miles on it. :icon_confused:
