I had a lot of problems with the passenger side driveline of my 89s because it had been converted to 5spd without changing the bearing support bracket. The resulting 1/8" or so misalignment wore out the bearing supporting the stub shaft and it's seat in the transmission case. There was a serious leak and I could easily move the intermediate shaft radially by the transmission. I pulled the stub shaft and found that the bearing and seal were gone. Got generic replacements locally, reseated the bearing with JB weld and waited over a week for it to set up (my garage was 30-40F). It's held for 10k miles, knock on wood. The biggest cause of vibration, though, was indentations in the inner driver.
