Very Bad Vibration

[mark4g63t]

can anyone chime in, if the toe was out far enough would that cause a very bad wobble/ shake vibration?

No

where can u get them balanced?

^ What dsmghost said. Toe will not cause a vibration. The only things that typically cause a vibration when it comes to wheels and tires are a bent rim, unbalanced wheel, or very, very bad wheel bearings.

ok I may just try to replace the u-joint without a balance and see if it still vibrates. How much do balances normally go for? This vibration is terrible at like 5mph and over. Can't go more than 20ish without feeling like something is going to break.

3 piece would be a weird one. We usually charge 2 piece and then add an additional shaft. 2 piece balance is around 140 without tax added. I believe adding an additional one is around 50-60. I'm not sure if we havet the fixtures for the dsm flanges since we rarely balance them. This price includes straightening the shaft with heat as well. Otherwise they suck to balance out. something else must be bad if it'it's vibrating at 5mph. didnt you do a ring and pinion on that rear diff?

Proven force, catco, most driveshaft shop should have balancers. But of course, you want the best right? I've seen other shop's work and they are garbage.

holy shit thats crazy expensive. I guess if you need it you need it.

Yep, a lot of trucks needs it. Plus we build a lot of custom driveshaft. I am planning to build a custom one once I go awd. A 2 piece shaft instead of the factory 3 piece.

thats very cool i plan on just buying the dss when i need it. mark i have the ds that i twisted the u joints out of at pg last year if it comes down to needing spare parts altho it deff wasn't pretty when it happened

Yes I did but it went very smoothly and no issues seemed to pop up. It was pretty straight forward.

I think any u-joint is better than the rear one. I'm going to post a video of it
