Sounds Like Rumble Strips Has anybody here shot gunned their "rumbling problem" just by changing or even getting their drive shaft balanced? I just got the rear end rebuilt, transmission rebuilt but still sounds like I'm driving over those highway rumble strips at certain speeds.

Thanks anybody for their opinion or shared experiences.
WS6Nightmare, I'm still willing to pay you for that drive shaft bud! (I know you didnt want anything for it).

man i have sorta the same problem except mines not that bad....at 70mph it has a rythmic vibration to it....i think it may be my driveshaft as well but i also installed a polythane tranny mount cuz mine broke in half, but haven't gotten around to installing the motor mounts...and i have about 90,000 miles....but IMO i would say that the driveshaft is ur trouble maker.

nope... problems dont fix themselves...
so a bad DS, luckily I have buddies who came and helped...
costed me total for 2 tail housings, and a new DS... 400 dollars... I got lucky.

^^^ EXACTLY what he said.. I had the same issue with vibration before I broke my tail housing and to be honest, I thought the vibration wasn't anything abnormal at the time. Hindsight is always 20/20 but like quickblade said, the problem won't fix itself. TAKE IT BACK WHERE YOU HAD IT SERVICED AND HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT ASAP! And drive slow!!!

I guess maybe that's what could have caused the yoke on my rear end to come into play by 1/4 ".
Have any of you bought any drive shafts locally in Houston? Preferrably North side? The one's I called in the phone book seem to be out of business or something.

So compared to the other DS have 1" that went into the tail, I was not too worried.
But there is more grab on the yoke, and it does not move around the way the other DS moved around on the splines. other one would shake real easy.
Wise of when you grab it and try to move it, this one has much more bite.
