Official 9 inch vibration thread I am about to get a 9" inch rear. I have heard about the leaks and can deal with that, but, I also hear they have vibrations with them too. I really want to stick with the 9 because I do NOT want the whine. I thought maybe I could ask the opinions of those that have the rear, or, knowledge on them as to what the problem is and why they vibrate. Vibration is a big concern for me as they do not seem to vibrate on Ford cars, so, why ours? Is it that the Camaros are having organ transplant rejection problems, lol? I just thought this could be a main thread to talk about this particular problem and figure out once and for all what can fix it.

I didnt know you could "square" the rear? Does this mean one needs to buy adjustable control arms and an adjustable torque arm braket? Any links to a writeup or info? I mean, "I" could dig it up myself and such, but, for the threads sake.
check pion angle, all so on my car the stock drive shaft worked for a while, but was about 1/2in to short. and ate up the rear tail shaft bushing, so i got a new drive shaft made, that was 1/2in longer after my messurments, and got bushing replaced now its some as can be

I thought, depending where it is perfectly parallel with the output shaft, that the outputshaft angle needs to be the same as the input shaft angle on the rear? Maybe that is your flatter?
