Larry's right.  With a new driveshaft you get new u-joints as well.  When I 
called
a driveshaft place in town to get mine built, they made sure I knew to measure 
the
distance while the car was on the ground and not hung on jack stands.  That's a
little tricky but it can be done.

Larry-pictures on the way!!
