96F150 2 Wheel Drive
I have a grinding feeling in the steering wheel beginning at around 30mph and continues until 40mph, then I don't feel it again until I reach higher speeds of 65-75 where it really grinds.
A mechanic here recently replaced the complete rear end due to a mistake made by one of his employees which caused my original rear end to fail. However, I am getting the above problem. Ideas?

The rear end was a complete one from another 96 F-150. They just unhooked the old one and put this one in but I wasn't there when they did it. I know for certain that the drive shaft does not look like the one that was originally in my truck. I am presently looking for a good place to have my truck checked out though.
It feels like a bearing out somewhere but I am not smart enough to troubleshoot it.

There is a good driveline shop here in town, the fellow told me to take out the driveshaft and he would check it for me but they just work on driveshafts that are bought in off the vehicle. I have taken out a driveshaft before but not out of a 96 or later vehicle.
Am I supposed to mark it or something before taking it out. I hadn't done the marking part before.
Sorry if I sound stupid or something, thats pretty much the case when something mechanical is wrong!
