Re: Driveline vibration
Maybe it is just your tires. Bias ply nylon tires used to do that, until you drove a few miles and got the tires warmed up to remove the flat spots, from where it sat. Marv

Re: Driveline vibration
Dave i forgot to mention. Since you lowered your car, is it possible that your driveshaft is to long and bottoming out.

Re: Driveline vibration
I went for a drive in this truck on Sunday afternoon. After we put shocks in it. It scared the shit out of me. I think you guys that suggested a total front end rebuild are on the money.

Re: Driveline vibration
I set the pinion angle after it was lowered... plus speed doesn't seem to affect it, but as soon as I hit a bump, or the vehicle goes a little off-kilter then she quakes like a son of a bitch.
... but not for long. |

Re: Driveline vibration
What type of front suspension do you have on it and how did you lower it? Bump steer is sounding more and more like it.

Re: Driveline vibration
If you dropped the rear 8" and the front 3" your camber has changed and will give you the shakes.

Re: Driveline vibration
Did you check the caster angle when you changed the ride heigth ??--by lowering the front more than the rear you could have changed the caster angle to a much lower amount ---less caster will make the wheels more prone to shimmey.
