vibration at higher speed Hey everyone I'm having a bad vibration at 75mph. Tires are all balanced good, u joints are good. If I put the clutch in and put it in neutral the vibration stops and everything is smooth. Doesn't seem to matter which gear. Could this be the result of a bad tailshaft bushing or something worse?

I had a clunk when I would shift into 3rd, sometimes a shutter, and a vibration in 4th (od, I'm a A4 ) on the highway. Checked my u joints they seemed fine, after a few trips to the track it got worse so I yanked the driveshaft out and had it balanced and new joints pressed in anyways. Every issue is gone, I think the driveshaft is something to look into
i have the same issue, vibrates at highway speeds in 6th gear. i have an ls1 alumunum ds in my car that i got used, luckily i kept the stock steel one and am going to swap it back out and see if it goes away.

How much would you want for the aluminum one if you wanted to sell it?
not looking to sell it, sorry. just using it to see if the vibration goes away, then i know if i need to balance the aluminum one or get new u-joints. i know the steel one is good, so just using it to help diagnose the issue

Just a guess but it may be your rear end. Auburn diff.?
I would get the back end up, pull the cover off and check the spider gears and ring and pinion. If all looks good fill it back up and add two bottles of limited slip additive

Could that also be what's causing the vibration?
