The problem has been found! :)
Thanks. Everyone. The information on this site was quite helpful.
The tyres were the cause of the shaking problem. The previous owner had installed some cheap brand of tubeless tyres in the front. The shaking didn't occur when tyres from the other vehicle were...

I came across varying prices on eBay for a new drive shaft. What is the sort of cost involved--any estimate would help.
