Replaced driveshaft center support bearing / hangar, driveshaft centering bushing, driveshaft clamping sleeve and shift console front bushing. The driveshaft was assembled approximately 100 degrees off when I removed it from the car. I reassembled the driveshaft with the u-joint yokes correctly aligned, but there is still noise under very high load at low speeds, so I suspect the driveshaft may need to be rebuilt.
