Lets talk drive shafts

Tom, and Jeff thanks for responding, I talked to a rep from PST and with the data I gave him he recommend and aluminum 4". He said with the Leigh and diameter of my drive shaft the critical mass was at 5500 RPM. I've been dealing with a vibration around that RPM for a while. I've replaced the yoke new joints and rebalanced the drive shaft and its still there. I think he said and aluminum 4" diameter that long critical mass would be 7700 RPM. I don't know if he was just blowing smoke up my butt or not.
