I have had to replace my rear driveline @ around 200K due to the splines in the slip yoke being worn, and causing vibration...FYI

What is the diagnosis for this? unhook the front end of the driveshaft and check for free play?

The VX driveline has 3 lube points that need to be kept lubed.

Yeah, and for those of us with upgraded swaybar bushings we have 7 lube points, and if you replace the rear links it would be up to 13 :) I have been faithful to lubing and my u-joints feel A-ok, but the driveshaft is making all kinds of noise :(
