Looks like they might have overfilled the driveshaft slip joint. Looking at the pics, does it look like need to take some grease out? I never noticed the smooth path which I assume is caused by overfilling the shaft.

But i had some expensive stuff needing replace under warranty. I am not sure the free repair was worth the damage they do. | ||
