More vibration fun!

Mine might need to go down some then, cv driveshaft in the rear and axle rotated 1 degree below driveshaft angle.

They typically recommend 1-2 degrees down from 0 with a CV. Mine is right at zero, but I have an anti wrap bar so it doesn't change.
 
Mine is at 1 degree down from driveshaft (14 pinion, 15 driveshaft). I did try last night shimming it 1 more degree (15 and 15) with no change in vibration.....if that helps you.
 
Yeah I figured I wouldn't get any vibes with the cv. Might try shorter shackles and slightly stiffer springs. Still has factory rear springs and 6" shackles.
 
Have a GoPro?

Recently, i started getting some weird vibrations, thought it was the u joints. Swapped them out, no change. Finally zip tied the camera to the tranny cross member, and wala! My slip yoke is wobbling carrier bearing is shot and getting spring wrap. 15 seconds of film goes a long way.

Awesome idea! I'm gonna have to give that a try
 
Camcorder works too. I lacked the intestinal fortitude to zip tie my iPhone down there. Didnt figure Verizon would cover that!
