Drive shaft vibes

Post by Struth »

I can't seem to work out why my driveline is vibrating so much.

I know it all looks a bit old but not too bad surely,

This happened at 3000 rpm in 4th so about 115 kmh up a hill on the warby hiway,

Bloody oath, underside of the car would have been a mess, probably take out the tail housing of the transmission too :shock:

I get my drive shafts made by a local bloke and don't actually ask him what he uses. He is well known and respected for 4WD driveshafts in Melb though.

I will ask about it when I take it to him tomorrow, it's that stuffed that it may need a whole new joint, not just a uni.

Yeh running in new motor and especisally rings means a little bit of revs occasionally. Not my usual scene but if you don't bed moly rings in they will fail.

Maybe I miscalculated and those revs only = 90 kmh in 4th :D

I had the same thing happen going up a fairly slippery hill one night, only the tailshaft did drop out. Thankfully I was only doing a few km/h and I just needed to replace the slip yoke...
