[6pack] rear shocks and vibration

[Glenn Rattmann]

Dave, Jeff's experience sounds useful here, especially if you are 
seeing fluid leak at the shock.

In addition, it could be a combination of things, acting together.
Our archives say that the original steel wheels (less than stellar 
quality, some say) sometimes cause vibration problems too.
In my own case, with original wheels, I just put a decent set of 
Yokohama tires on the TR6, and my 55MPH vibration problems all went away.

I had been suspecting shocks, or U-joints, maybe driveshaft balance, 
etc. but the tires did the trick for me.
