Re: driveshaft question
Yes they are hollow and no they should not rattle. Is the rattle from in side the drive shaft?

Re: driveshaft question
Yes inside thats what im suspect my vibration is coming from
Re: driveshaft question
hollow for sure, if that puppy was solid it would take a forklift to move it
Re: driveshaft question
Is there any visible damage? Dented? Bad u-joints and rotted rubber in the carrier bearing are the typical causes of vibration but if is damaged it will likely be out of balance.
