ok well my car seems to have a ginormous death wobble at 65mph+ and it doesnt go away with more speed like vibrations.... new tires all around and balanced, i know i NEED a front alignment for caster/camber badly (but the car does drive straight) and tis moser 9" rear was involved in an accident in my old car where the ******* driving my car slamed into a jersey barrier otalling out the old car which leads me to believe maybe he bent the driver side axle???? i lifted the rear of the car so the wheel can spin freely and started the car put it in gear and gave it gas...holding the revs the car seeme to bounce/shake a little while up on the jack is this normal since the tires arent making contact with anything??? i also tried looking at the rims to see if i could see any wobble in them but i cant see anyting but wobble in the tire which im sure is just the shape of the tire...
getting my front end alignment tomorro and have to drive on the hoghway to get t the place and i litteraly mean the entire car shakes as im at 65 mph or more...definition of death wobble is what i have....

yea on my way to get the alignment now but this shake wobble doesnt feel like normal "frontend" wobble it shakes the entire car in a different way than ive felt before some im preparing myself to have to pull the axles....
hey bob seeing as youre a moser dealer how much would a driver side moser 35 spline axle cost? also do you know the part number for the bearings? im gonna hope its just a bearing...

ok got the alignment and the death wobble continues! its definately coming from my rear shaking the ENTIRE car violently...to the point im sure people driving behind me can actually see the car shaking cause the seats, mirrors, hood...etc are all shaking bad... gonna pull apart the rear tomorro and see...
now on another possibility...is it bossible the rear end housing could be bent too??? from looking at it i cant notice anything... and how can i tell if the axle is bent? can i bring it to a shop?

go to harbor freight or sears and get a cheep dial indicator (15-30.00) jack up the car remove tire and check side movement and circumference of Axel and go from there
of find a friend and borrow one
good luck,Johnny
ps:may only be a tire with a broken belt, before removing tire and wheel ,put in gear and allow to rotate slow and look for side wabble or up and down movement or a place in tire tread whick looks worn more than the rest of tread
