And while I cannot tell from the pics what is wrong there has been at least one Member who had a loose Collar Nut and the on the female side of the Coupling were eaten up.

Or maybe the Collar Nut is simply loose.

Nice pics.

Maybe the U-joint needs to be beaten on as in the below thread.
Sticking U-joint causes Vibration that Rips up several Drive Shaft Supports turns out to be Rusty Needle Bearings
W123 Propeller shaft vibration tears up rubber mounts, replaced nearly everything
I posted to the thread you linked to asking the OP for an update. No reply yet. How is your staked u joint job from 2011 holding up? I hope I do not have to replace mine and will try that trick in your linked thread.

The secret to nice pics with my phone (Samsung Galaxy note 2) is to use flash, auto focus, and zoom as needed (4x max on mine). I touch the camera icon, the LED flash comes on lighting up the dark scene and auto focuses for 1/3 of a sec before snapping the pic. In that 1/3 of a sec, I can see the object being captured and move the camera to frame exactly what I want in the shot. I can do this with one hand and take a bunch of shots and choose the best ones. These phones are amazing!
