If after testing your vibration free run it. Just be aware that you will experience short U-joint life span. Keeping things greased will help some.

The greater the angle the more vibration is generated due to the how a U-joint speeds up and slows down on every revolution. A constant velocity joint is the cure for that kind of vibration.

You might give I-5 driveline in Vancouver a call and talk to the owner, he's an old guy who's done it all.

Good luck neighbor!
