Do you know the process for correcting the DL angle - if it’s off?

Got the driveshaft balanced with 2 new u-joints; no change. Will be getting the other 2 balanced. My wife drove it home from a parade we participated in and I followed in my truck. I could not see anything happening. I told TomTime that the ABS light recently started coming on. It goes out...

Let’s revive this but add a twist. Haven’t been driving the truck much but It started noticing a “thump” like you would get driving over the expansion joints on a concrete slab highway. Today the truck has a noticeable “quick shimmy / bounce” at the same time. I recently greased all fittings...
