Did it vibrate before you worked on the driveshaft? You can remove the driveshaft and drive your Vue as a front wheel drive I believe.

Pull it out and rotate it a 1/2 turn (180 degrees) and reinstall it. Maybe it's not in the right position?

All the u-joints should line up if you see what I mean. I don’t know if the center yoke has a master spline on your car. If there is a master spline the yoke will only go on the splines one way. On your original posting you were looking for the snap ring the holds the driveline together. That is where most drivelines shake if you misaligned the splines. As long as you did not bend the tubes when replacing the joints.
