Funny you should mention a "slipper" shaft...the drive shaft on my
Westy Syncro was definitely vibrating. So I pulled it and dropped it
off as the core for a rebuilt one from the dealer....I suspect that the
one I pulled off (which I knew from the previous owner had been
replaced) was one of these so called "slipper" drive shafts.

Suffice it to say that even those are not immune to needing
replacement. My new(ly rebuilt) drive shaft gives me vibration free
driving again. And that makes me a happy camper.
