Front Drivetrain Vibration Problems!

[98formulaLS1]

Before I completely cancelled out any other possibilities, I just wanted to get your opinions.

When the vehicle accelerates in gear, it gets to about 3000rpm, and vibration noises start.

When I get to about 3500rpm, the vibrations are awfully loud, and beginning to make popping noises.

I think its my u-joint on the front driveshaft. It could also possibly be the CV joint in the driveshaft.

I am going to start by just removing the front drive shaft all together and taking it for a test drive.

Agreed?

Yeah that's the first step to take

ok so i took out the front driveshaft, and the vibrations went away. I think I need to get a new driveshaft though, becuase I pulled the CV joint out of its socket. The rubber boot is still ok and intact, its just that I cant get the shaft to drop into the CV joint.

If you need one I got them new. I've sold a bunch on EF w/ no complaints!
