wow that was what i thought may be the issue that is screwed how did the shop not notice that when they did the joints do they not look at the surounding area thats how you keep the customers is by looking at all possible issues not skipping a very ovious one for your safety pull the shaft so it does not break before it gets replaced

plus you already have new joints to put in from your old shaft so its much cheaper to replace not repair

look down the shaft for any bending
pull the shaft apart look at the splines on the slip goint make sure they are not damaged

90 days is resonable
