Depends on a lot of stuff.
When the drive shaft is installed, is it a relatively straight line from the rear yoke up the driveshaft?
Extend and compress your driveshaft. Does it slide correctly on the splines?
Twist the slipshaft. Is there a lot of slop?
How much spline is showing with the shaft installed?
Can you compress the slip shaft a couple inches with the shaft installed on the rear of the transfer case?
If none of this is an issue, I would take it to be balanced. Should be cheap. I like to use cheap u-joints. I prefer them to break than an axle.
It is also possible that the new joints were installed improperly. Just takes one smashed needle to kill a joint over time.
