yeah, when someone says to torque it down or torque it, mostly they mean to tighten real good. unless of course it came with a specific number to torque it to, such as 25lbft.

if its the u joints its super easy to check. leave the car on the ground and get under it, grab hold of the drive shaft and move it up and down, side to side, back and forth. it shouldnt move at all except a little bit when you move it front to back. every other direction it should be solid.

I fixed everything!!! All I did was Re-torque the U-bolts. No more vibrations, popping, and everything is aligned. I used a 3' long cheater pipe to torque those suckers. Thanks for the help. Also i looked at my u joints just to be sure and they seem to be fine. Thanks again!!
