that sounds like it hurts...

But, Keith is right, the drive shaft (from the tranny to the wheel)
should not have any play up, down, left or right.  I think you've found
your problem.  And if your shaft "wabbles", it sound like you need a new
shaft also because the excess play (in and out) that this bent shaft
allows probably caused the other play (up, down, left and right). When
viewing the shaft in proper motion, should not show any other motion
except spinning on it's axis.  You sould not see any other movements.

Sound like you have a weekend worth of work ahead of you.
