ok I went back and checked the u joints the rear ujoint was real tight so I tapped it on one side and it got real easy to move inside the bearing cups reinstalled and a lot of the vibration went away until I hit 55 mph then its gone at 60 mph then it comes back at 80 mph a bit more vigorous though is it possible the yoke is off 180 degrees as I didn't mark it when I took it apart would that cause a vibration as well? Any advice from anyone is welcome please I just got the car and don't know a lot about these vehicles and this is really annoying me I know the vibration isn't normal and I do know the rear end gear has been replaced from 3.23 to 3.73 and I almost think it could be in the setup on that how could I tell if it is


Thanks to any and all responses

I would be tempted to check the balancing of the rear wheels...

sorry I took so long but I got it smooth as butter I bought a used aluminum drive shaft for 125.00 and even with the factory used ujoints it is smooth as glass now can't believe it but it did the trick
