Default Driveshaft Before and after PICS...

So as you notice on these pics...
the old one has a weird balance weight on it, as the new one does not.

I have not seen them much with this weight on it... so makes me think was wrong DS to begin with....

odd...

Glad you got it fixed. Ennis on the 16th is on for me, weather permitting.

I guess I need to take pictures when I do stuff... I'm afraid to get the camera all greasy and whatnot...

I'll leave the shaft jokes alone...

well whats odd is the fact that we dont feel the vibration.
Well hard to pay attention also when the N20 is being fed and
100 - 115 comes and goes really fast.......

So the best test, drive it.. LOL...

I am going to go test tonight... LOL
we shall see what happens..

But the car feels like a completely different car.. Vibrations that I felt at 45 MPH area are gone and it is smooth as a luxary car... well not really but.
