Occasionally mine will get the vibration your describing, and I found that when the slip joint loses that 20ml of grease (and I have no idea where it goes) then I start getting that vibration.

Yes I did regrease it but it's been a while, from reading the previous post about the one letting go and the mileage on mine, it's time to tear it down for a look see and some peace of mind, thanks men for the advice. Experience is the best teacher. Bad ones especially stick in your memory. I don't need another bad experience right now

I've noticed that that grease only lasts for about 10~12,000 miles.
