drive shaft wobble

99 runner 4x4 at. So I inspected the drive shaft am I able to repair the double cardon? I replaced the rear u joint and I still have vibration around 65mph and while coasting. The slip joint seemed ok and I greased it and the joints. What should I do? I heard you cannot fix the ujoints next the card on is this correct?

also check your T/C output and your rear pinion for play

they look like they have play but not sure and if play in them replace the bearings? I had the same problem with my 92 runner and where would I buy the case output bearing and rear diff input bearing? And can I replace the cardon joints with the same u joint I got for the rear at autozone? I know there are many many many threads about drive shaft wobble but everyone's are different it's fine from 0 to 50mph on and off gas and coasting in neutral but above 50mph I feel it most at 65 or 70 but at 85 it's gone til I let off gas and slight rumble for a second and its all smooth but at 65thru85 on freeway in neutral pure nonstop rumble and downhill in neutral is the same way at 60ish when I replaced rear joint the joint needles were pure rusted powder and once installed smoother then it was I couldn't go above 45 without it rumbling

Driveshaft and pinion angles matter. The set up has to be very close to these 2. When I lifted my truck I had probs, solved with proper pinion angle.
