Thanks spiv, your insight was most helpful. Here's what I did to further narrow the problem. I pulled both front wheels and ran the drivetrain in 4th gear while the car was on stands. I used an axe handle to stop the hub on alternating sides to see how each driveshaft performed. When I stopped the left side the right would run smooth under power. However, when I stopped the right the left had a bad case of the shakes. The best I could tell was the vibration was coming from the cup and the inner U-joint. The problem first happened rather abruptly. At first I thought I had a fouled plug or lost a cylinder. Does this sound like the inner U-joint may have broken up in some way or could the outer be causing this extreme vibration?
Thanks
