Vibration after changing driveshafts
Those look like Tom woods driveshafts! With the classic gold seal u-joints which are Chinese crap!!! Trust me I know. I had vibes at 55 and 69mph with my rear Tom woods driveshaft. WOL is correct about control arms but before you go spending money on them pull your rear shaft and have it rebalanced and the u-joints replaced with spicer or neapco. This solved my vibe problem and I'm running stock CA's right now and I have smooth sailing on highway at any speed

Ok , and I specifically told the shop to install JE Reel 1350 drive shafts front and rear that is after going back and forth in the forum. So I got to order 2 other new ones.
as tattedfire stated, i'm no fan of gold seal u-joints and flanges, while strong, reduce the length of your shaft and increase your chances of having vibrations. yokes allow for a longer shaft and better operating angles and therefore reduced the chance of vibes. still, having said all that, your specific problem could very well be a pinion angle setting. i would have your shop double check this first and go from there.

Oh, and make the shop eat the cost of rebalancing and putting new joints in since you specifically asked for JE reels. If they say no then tell them to order the ones you originally asked for then
