Will an adjustable Tq arm help vib????
experiencing high speed vib. changed DS which made it better but it is still there also this is a track car only so I can't drive on street. Looking into adjustable Tq arms to help with rear end angle because that could be what is causing my vib. measured on the rear istself where the Tq arm bolts up it seems on the dial (see pic) that the rear end angle is upwards 3deg. the DS is 0deg and the trans angle is downward 4-5deg. but if I measure on the Tq arm itself the angle is different. Is this causing my Vib.????? SEE PICS

Torque Arm suggestion (pinion angle)!
Hello
I notice that you are having pinion angle problems! When going with an adjustable torque arm to level out your drive line which that is what is causing your vibration. When setting your pinion angle you always want the yoke downward not upward. If you have any other questions feel free to ask or call in and talk to our tech department and Jerry will be able to get you going in the right direction.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply have seen the vid a little unsure where to mount indicator. as form pics I got diff readings on the Tq and rear end. I know you sell Tq arms as well, was looking at Sphon becuase the Xmem I use, I fabbed up and that could be adding to my prob and their Tq arm comes with a new Xmem as well.

Thanks See last reply to BMR. I thought that the yoke would need to be up beacuse under accel the rear would rotate down?? Maybe not thanks for the reply that set me straight. Now maybe I can start going back to the track and ringing on this thing

Take a look at this video on the correct way to set your pinion angle. If you followed the procedure according to the video then you have something else causing the vibration. Let me know if thats the way you set your pinion angle and we can go from there.

You might try just reclocking the driveshaft by taking the U-bolts at the rear off and twisting the driveshaft 180 degrees and reinstalling it. Besure not to over tighten the U-joints as this could cause the needles to bind in the joint causing a vibration....

I will try rotateing the DS, tried before I think it may be the tranny, bought it out of a wrecked 96 Z28. at speed you and take it out of gear and coast and it still vibrates, but I am talking on track at straight away speeds.
