my u-joint snapped when i had symptoms like this. going down the road. the dash would shake and vibrate badly. it was like a very bad wheelhop. later on the day it snapped while i was going down the road. the driveshaft was bouncing around so bad my center console jumped about an inch up and down. lol. everythings fine now tho b/c ive checked it out and replaced the driveshaft.
