cv shaft and shackle flip, still vibrates. [Final say]

Holy **** man I had no idea, it only had about 8k on it. Really sorry about that.

That's alright, **** happens with used parts.

Came to be the same as just buying new after the rebuild though. :doah:

Did it have the rubber sleeve on it when you bought it? Or does H.A.D. Just supply them like that?
 
I don't remember seeing the rubber but I didn't give it a close inspection when I got it - I put it in right away. Need any other parts for your truck that I might have?

Sent a pm with a few small odds and ends I'm looking around for. Maybe we can work a deal on them.
 
Finally found out the final say on the drive shaft. It was in spec as far as the balance tolerance was concerned. However, upon re-balancing, they were able to get the shaft into much better tolerances.

The re-balance did help with some vibration. However, it does still have vibrations. I am confident it has to be coming from the rear axle gears/bearings. I did not have a dial indicator so i could not check out the backlash on the axle. But it did seem like there was an excessive amount. That paired with the notch-y feeling bearings have to be what is giving me my vibrations. I guess the search is on for a 14B SF.
