Bent yoke in T-case?

[RENO88]

What are the symptoms? I am getting vibrations at various speeds. Never same. I can lightly apply throttle, or lightly let off, and it'll vibrate. What gives?

Have you checked the u-joints? Is the driveshaft out of balance? I would check all of that before you blame the yoke.

 

[RENO88]

All U-joints are new, the shaft still has weights. Maybe I'll take it in to Re-balance.

when you put the new u-joints in, did you mark the orientation of the shaft and put it back together the same way?

 

[RENO88]

In know I meant too. While I was cleaning out the ear's of the d-shaft w/ engine degreeser, it erased the marks I applied w/ a welders pencil. So Maybe I NEED to balance her. how much is this one gonna cost me? Good call on that one.

You just need to pull the shaft and rephase the u-joints (i.e. just pull the two parts of the shaft apart and put it back together the way it should be). Post pics of what it looks like now if you want to know if the joints are in phase or not (we will need to see both joints in the same picture).

What exactly do you mean by the u-joints being in phase?

 

[RENO88]

In phase like in 90 degrees of each other?

Is the rig lifted and if so did you correct u-joint angles? Did the vibe just come all of a sudden or has it been there a long time?

Its happend ever since I bought it. For some reason when I test drove it, I didnt take it on the freeway. Of course like everything goes, I find the problems after I buy it.
