Very Bad Vibration

mark4g63t · 02-05-2014

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?

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

Can see it being notchy and kinda "sticky"

Did you do a bearing kit as well on the rear diff? With a new ring a pinion, you should always check your pattern.
