  • I think that there must be either something has landed on the drive shaft or some of the bearings have been damaged

Clutch is blue and chattering, also bike has a vibration at around 50 mph. i've changed primary oil, and motor oil and filter. no differance. any sugestions?

How do you know the clutch is blue unless you have had it apart. If it is blue it is overheated and you need to change the parts out for new ones. It is likely slipping if blued. Make sure it gets done right and adjusted properly when you rebuild it. Can be just as cheap to just buy the whole clutch as an assembly.

Do you have too removed the whole drive shaft to replace the d/s coupler

If you mean the shaft that runs the accessories in the front causing a chattering noise, No, you need to loosen the mounts that hold the whole front assembly in place to remove the coupling though.
If you mean the rear driveshaft, then yes, Lift the vehicle, select neutral gear, apply the handbrake and mark the driveshaft at the rear where the driveshaft connects to the differential so it can be re fitted in the same position. Loosen the bolts one by one, releasing the handbrake to turn the driveshaft around to get to the next bolt. Take note of which way around the bolts are as this is important for the strength of the bolts in relation to the sheering action of the driveshaft.

2005 dodge dakota driveshaft vibrations, only has 58,000 miles. Dealer says needs driveshaft assembly and is not warranty under 7 year/ 70,000 miles warranty.

You most likely need a 15 dollar ujoint. The dealer will sell you the whole unit to make a better return. Even so a driveshaft can be balanced for about $100 bucks if it were out of balance but if you did not loose a weight or bend it then it shoulds be just fine. Go to an independant shop. You will be treated better and only the parts needed will be sold to you.

Vibration in the steering wheel on a 4wd truck

I just had the same issue with a 1999 2500HD and the vibration got worse above 50 mph. Problem was resolved with a new driveshaft. Old one (aluminum) was badly out of true and the problem didn't really occur until I had the U joints changed - then bent driveshaft vibration was noticeable. New driveshaft resolved issue.
