U-joint is IN, rattle is GONE. 
Only took about two hours, and that includes fighting with the three wheel hub bolts and doing everything we could to NOT break them. After that it was smooth sailing. I took it for a test drive and I could hear a grinding in the front wheel and I was like "OMG WTF." Stopped and looked, and I bent the brake dust shield into the rotor a little bit.
Bent it back out and it's all gravy.
