Just finished up the AWD Swap and took it for a test drive down the street. It has a serious vibration happening and is very sloppy.
Things I know:
The carrier bearings on the driveshaft seem to be in great condition, no rips cracks or anything and they spin freely on the shaft no problem. I can move the shaft in the bushings but was told it looked normal. Video of said play

The u-joints are becoming worn, the front is ok, the middle is smooth as butter, but the rear is pretty notchy.
The shaft is straight when it is hanging on the car and has no forward or backwards play at all.
The rear drivers knuckle I believe is bent causing that wheel to have a bunch of positive camber and toe. Crazy amounts. The other side is pretty negative on camber and good on toe visually.
The rear divers side also has a bad wheel bearing that I am changing when I put the new knuckle on.
Going to be hopefully putting a new knuckle on it tonight along with a Precision u-joint to see if that helps any.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks, Mark
