20 Dec 2016 - driveshaft

Installed the front and rear u-joints into the driveshaft.  The u-joints installed pretty easily.  But the movement at each end is tight, much more tight than the old ones.

Installed the sway bar end links, did not torque yet.  Still need to torque lower control arms then need to torque end links then the sway bar mounts to the frame.

I am considering taking the driveshaft assembly to the local transmission shop and have them take a quick look to make sure I properly installed the u-joints and to check the free play of the u-joints.
