Question is, what made you replace the donut to begin with? You may have had a driveshaft problem all along. If that be the case, it is what will have to be replaced.

I had similar problems few months ago. I end up have my mechanic replace Flex Disc front and back. Drive shaft bushing and Drive shaft rebalnce. Parts and labor not cheap but it was covered under my warranty. I just have to pay a small co payment.
