Damn U-joint So today I installed a new torque arm mount (poly) and a new tranny mount (poly) and re-tightened the bolts on my 12 bolt cause they come loose every week!! The tranny mount was obliverated. So I got all the stuff and and went and drove it. Damn vibration at 60+ 
So I put the car on the lift and check it out..... play on the rear u-joint. So did my broken tranny mount and worn out torque arm mount cause the u-joint to fail?

are you supossed to use that shim??!?! (the energy suspension autozone poly trans mount)
i diddnt use it on mine when i installed it, i'm very pleased with the results of the transmount. feels like it killed alot of wheelhop for me, and i forgot about the vibrations after about 2 days.

I didn't use the shim, by my driveline has some movement in it now. Prolly f*cked it up when I broke the tranny mount and the torque arm mount. Guess its one of those things.

I thought I had the same problem, but there is on thing to try.........
While going 60, put the car in neutral. If the vibration stops, its not Driveshaft/Rear end. When this was my case, I rechecked the Trans Mount, shaved it (Search for it) and the Vibration is nearly gone. The Transmission mount Vibration will vary with Revs, not Speed.
Just a thought.
