machine shops dont typically have a lathe large enough to check it.
around here there are driveline specialty places.
Holy hell. Can I have one problem NOT be a complete pain in my ASS??

having the needles fall out only tells you that you neglected on greasing them.
IMO i would not be changing the u-joints in that front driveshaft without getting it checked.
but we all have time to waste, right?
installing new u- joints on a bent driveshaft = time wasted. even if its just pressing u-joints
from the symptoms you described, you would have busted caps in the u-joints etc. if infact it was the u-joints.
i think the driveshaft is junk.
with the way you said it binded, and the u-joints didnt move, i would suspect that its bent..
but then again, im just 2800 miles away, in 60* weather @ 6:44 am, with my medication and a pint of coffee.
lol
well the next time you do this,
check your nuts first...lol
could very well have been your only issue! but now its damn near bran new
