Bent front driveline

I seem to have tweaked my front driveline while out wheeling during a recent trip. I don't drive on the freeway very often but I did today, and I noticed a vibration around 65+. I looked underneath and noticed a visible bend in my driveline, not just a dent. A bent driveline will cause vibes right? I checked all the U-joints and they are still good and tight so far....

Has anyone else had this issue? Know where I can get a new driveline if this is the cause? Or is it possible to get re-tubed?

I have a 2001 TJ and I can never find any wranglers at wrecking yards around me.

youcan get it retubed. Is your front driveshaft even spinning when in 2wd going down the road?

It looks like Gaylon's in Lehi has pretty good feed back. I think I'll give them a call. Thanks for all your suggestions

I am referring to six states in general, based on 2 times I have had driveline's re tubed down here with a quote FROM THE MANAGER on price only to come back to find that they were now charging me almost double the original quote, AFTER the work was done and without notifying me of the changes in price.
I would never support a company that quotes one price and then changes the price, without notification.

Six states = douche bag company of the year.

far enough away
The Page Brake in SLC, if they're still there, can suck it too-- tried to jack me for a new master cylinder and booster instead of bleeding the rear wheel cylinder I paid for them to replace.

Gaylon's, Tatton's, Eric at Six States, all come recommended, as does Tom Woods, who may be a drive for you but it would be worth it, esp. if they let you watch. :D See the write up Rusted did a while back, it's on here somewhere. :D

I feel like I should leave some kind of feedback on here for Gaylon Pugh's Drivelines. The work he did was pretty amazing. He took a little longer but only because he wanted to use thicker material and didn't have any in stock, I was pretty much okay with that. I went to pick it up and it looked like a brand new driveline. They even installed new U-joints and painted it all up nice and pretty. It costed me $100 plus tax. I was really impressed with how I was treated there, I know I'll go back when I can get a locker installed.
