Default FYI......Concerning my VIBE issue with the 8.8...

As it turns out, it is NOT the rear or the u-joint causing the problem. I have a twisted driveshaft ....I have already snapped one driveshaft trying to leave hard on the street, so i'm guessing I twisted this one as well smackin it from rolls on a dead hook. Just wanted to let everybody know...

It sucks to have TQ sometimes
