    U-joints, unless your slip yoke and double cardan are trashed.

    Edit: Misread you, thought you were asking if you should replace the whole shaft assembly. I would replace all the U-joint while you have the drive shaft out.

    Hard to say Since you really don`t describe the problem other then a Bad U-Joint .

    If it is only one replace it

    I don`t touch these Joints to much of a pain to do myself.
