Thank y’all for all the help, I think I’m going to order the spicers from autozone because they’re non-greasae and automatically came up as the right size….I don’t think the shaft is unbalanced because it’s smooth most of the time except at low RPMs and high speeds…

Actually waiting for the u joints to arrive from advance auto…I’m going to start with the rear drive shaft, but I’ve got a funny feeling the vibration is coming from the front end…so next will be ball joints…but hey, everything is OE and it’s 20 years old..

Just remember my previous post above when you're sitting there unable to pull the bearing cup completely out. I've done u-joints in many vehicles and this was the first time I had issues getting the cups out. You need something that will grip the exposed cup very well to get it completely out. I have a 20 ton HF press and it doesn't matter how much you press them out, they still need to be "pulled" out to compete the job.
