If I had a hydraulic lift in my back yard and the time I could probably diagnosis the problem myself but I don't so I'm stuck dealing with incompetent and/or crooked garages. What else can you do?
So did the fluid change improve things and you no longer experience the symptoms?

But on a serious note, I still have doubts it's your drive shaft. I've never heard of a 'rubbing/grinding' noise from a driveshaft with a faulty guibo, center bearing, or u-joint issue, especially when turning the car. Shuddering, shaking, heavy vibration that increases with speed on accel and decel 100% your drive shaft but again that's not what you've described. Do you hear it underneath you or in the front, or under your feet, or in the rear? I mean, you've already questioned your Mech, and what you've describing just doesn't make sense for a faulty u-joint in that driveshaft.

4 month old post, and I see you weren't paying attention to the substance of what I wrote, and only to the tone in which I wrote it.

You're right, I am sorry you lack reading comprehension skills, my bad I guess.

LOL….ok I guess? Sorry you didn't get your way, read nothing I wrote about the absurdity of the post and the way it was worded, then proceeded to get triggered and complain to mods as well as demand I apologize from a 4 month old post lol.

Just because you disapprove of the way I said it, doesn't make any of my original points wrong. In fact, I implore you to logically argue any of the points instead of ad hominem attacking me with "WWF style" crap.

I'll wait, I'm hourly.
