Driveshaft Repair

I have 280K miles on my wife's 1981 300SD with the original flex disks on it. I replaced the flex disks with Lemforder disks as well as the center bearing and hanger. I also replaced the two centering sleeves. I carefully match-marked the two shaft halves so that they went back together with the same orientation.

Everything seems fine except I now have a slight (barely perceptable) vibration in the 65-75 MPH range. It almost feels like I have too much air pressure in the tires. Could this be due to replacing the old flex disks with some new, stiffer flex disks?
