I would not be too concernec with a salvage unit other than it having a good slip yolk and new u-joints.  Keep in mind they dont owe you anything but that could have been a safety defect had it come apart going donw the road therefore they should have caught that on a inspection.  I have seen failed driveshafts tear into oil pans, trans pans, shatter trans cases and blow out transfer cases, anyone of those could cause a bad accident along with leaving you stranded wherever you are.</blockquote>
