Driveshaft angle allignment

I have noticed that over time, I feel more and more vibrations in my car. Of course I'm sure some of the things I've done to the car are to blame, such as stiffer motor mounts and what not.

Well today I felt like it has gotten worse yet. If I leave the car in gear and just let off the gas and decel, that's when there is the most vibration.

I started researching, and stumbled across this. Thought I'd share it for anyone else experiencing similar vibrations. I think I'm going to try and focus on a lot of "maintenance" type stuff this year since I'm pretty happy mod wise. I think I'm going to pick up some new driveshaft carrier bearings, and shim it just like they did in this article.

Anyhow, just posting it here in case anyone else finds it useful.

Re: Driveshaft angle allignment

Wow, good info. I really wonder if this is the problem that has been plaguing my car all along, especially if the rear diff isn't sitting correctly or something.

Re: Driveshaft angle allignment

I've been working on this on my car over the last few years. Shimming the carrier bearings made a little difference, so did rebuilding the rear diff. Mine still has some coast down howl though, I'll try the next piece of the puzzle this year.
