-any thoughts on the possibility of the diff causing this type of vibration??? (i dont really know much about these rear ends, never had an issue with a diff before...) -any opinions on whether or not the d-shaft is still outta wack and causing the issue??? side note; before i buy a new drive...

Well I wasn't brave enough to spin the wheels at 50 MPH while sitting on jack stands in the garage...so I don't know if the vibe would continue. The drive shaft shop said that there was about .040" runout on the front of the shaft. They straightened it by heating it and quenching it with water...

Sooo, I ended up putting 3 degree shims in the jeep as well as new U-bolts and motor mounts. she is completely vibe free!!! Can't say the same for the duster though. I balanced the wheels, checked out the undercarriage (nothing loose), the bearing on the input yolk for the diff feels excellent...

Yeah I just started getting used to it actually lol. That's the problem It wont pull up, not sure what's goin on there. I just got back to town. Ill give ya a call tomorrow after work. hopefully its just jammed up. It happened when i was parking it in the garage just before a trip so I literally...

Cool, ill def give him a call. I need to hit up Greg again too. My new Hurst shifter jammed up on me the other week, doesn't wanna go into park outta drive. I've been outta town for a week and wont be back till late tonight. So ill be giving y'all at SS/AFX a call tomorrow.

Ok, yeah i was starting to try and calculate the size shims to put in from that. .. it has a four link front and a leaf rear. ...

Yeah i replaced the u joints. Left the alignment of the knuckles the same but still a vibe. I doubt its the problem but I am going to balance the drive shaft next. I tried to balance the tires but no one would cause they are so old. So I'm gunna get some new rubber for it if the dshaft balance...

Angle issue ....sounds very probable, thanks super shaft. Especially since I have a 4 inch dick cepick lift on it, how would I remedy that? Either change the d-shaft length or change degree index on the axels????

Yeah I'm going to rebalance the shaft before i do anything else here. ... I did try like 10 different Dodge chrsyler Plymouth vehicles looking for the same drum at autozone. ..non that were the same size :/ 11" id. My Jeep just started a different vibe this week too, must have caught the virus...

Yes, sorry I forgot I made this thread. I found the bug in the wiring, was a bad splice from the manufacturer. They thought my month of hair pulling down time was worth a $50 credit, ill take what I can get I guess. Then i pulled the thing over to Greg at SS AND AFX in north central Phoenix...

so i havent been able to find a shop who was willing to "balance" or even look at my brake drums... i havent been able to find a reman pair either because i have no idea where the 8.75 rear end in my duster came from... I did however hear from one guy that a bent axel would throw out the...

as soon as i read this i ran down stairs to check out the drums haha. the rims are ol cragars and flare away from the drums, so no one should have taken any weights off, BUT.... just an fyi, last week i ran to autozone 2 miles away to grab stuff for an oil change, kept the car under 45, couldnt...

im chasing a similar demon in my 74 duster; 360 with 727 and 8.75. it vibes about 40-50, while in neutral or drive, the humming bee.. hmmm---hmmmm---hmmm. did u-joints and im checking all the basics (wheels and tires, ect...) like fury said, its a process of elimination just like all trouble...

OK.... i had to take some time away from the car to get my bearings. my Chrysler 100 amp alt was a no go as the pulley was seized to the shaft and the shop cracked it. so i had them build me a 100amp, internally regulated delco unit. i made some brackets and got that sucker on there with a...

HA, THATS AWESOME! i work for a third party contractor that manufactures those mil spec aerospace connectors, i design them and never thought of using them for an automotive application. i love it! im totally stealing this idea man! thnx
