 On a previous Jensen (can't seem to do without having at least one) I had a very noticiable vibration start in the drivetrain.  By the time I got home it was simply awful.  Pulled the driveshaft and saw that the cups were so shot that they had actually deformed the yoke on the drive shaft.  Took it to a driveshaft specialist and they said they could fix it, no problem.

Went to pick it up a couple of days later and the "fix" was they had pressed new cups into the yoke. You could actually see daylight in places around the cups.  As I was moving back to Oklahoma and that was all I had to drive and I was cash poor, I figured I would try it and if I broke down I would fire off a phone call for money from good ole Mom and Dad.  Well, it lasted for 4 more years until I sold the car and never even had a hint of wobble. 

Whodathunkit?
