you did not say if the vibes changed sound at all after rebuilding drive shaft... same vibes as before or different ? did you rebuild or replace the centering bearing when rebuilding the CV joint ?

Either get a friend to lend you his shaft or take that one to a driveline shop and have them check for balance. They can also Check for alignment of it too, as just previously stated. Most shops should put it on the balancer and Check for free or check and give a quote to fix.
Vibes were pretty much the same in terms of sound. But they came earlier and were worse than before, with more overall shaking. I replaced the whole centering unit when I did the rebuild.

Were all the u-joint caps freely moving. Sometimes while putting them together you can squish them together too hard making them bind. They should all be loose and "floppy". If you squished them together too tight, that will cause vibrations.
