driveshaft vibration - Page 2

like everyone says make sure the shaft is clocked to the correct position and I can believe you arent having vibe issues in any other gear there is usually some.

Eric do you leave the dog bone on yours ? if the stock gear has been changed I usually remove mine

Yeah,I left mine on.Even though my driveshaft is clocked correctly,it will still get a slight vibration and hum above 65 mph without it.

you will have to look closely in good light. More than likely the rust is covering up most of the mark. They are there, trust me

The marks dont just go away.

Try cleaning everything with brake cleaner

ok will do i just rotated it compleatly 180 of what it was and still vibrating but i have looked this thing over and i cant find any mark but i will try cleaning w/ brake cleaner and post the results and another question ujpoints wouldnt make it vibrate real bad would it? cause i cant feel any slack exept the transmission slightly rotating in gear but it is almost nothing

EHardy1971 · 11-08-2008, 10:23 PM

Yes,a bad u joint could cause vibration,but you said it's only doing it in 5th gear,right?

tayzoid1 · 11-09-2008, 11:20 AM

yea only really bad in 5th at 2400 rpm it is doing it a lil in the other gears but its hardly noticable

EHardy1971 · 11-09-2008, 08:22 PM

Just for grins,have you checked it for any dents/dings? I'm with Qwksnke,and Qkjuiced on checking it to see if it's clocked properly,but just trying to think of other possible problems.
