[6pack] STRANGE VIBRATION

[COLIN THOM]

Hi Sloane 


If you can feel it in your butt, it's definitely a rear-end issue. If your axle shafts have new U-joints but your drive shaft doesn't, I'd definitely start by replacing both drive shaft UJ's. And, hate to say it, but just because your axle shaft UJ's are fresh, doesn't mean one of 'em hasn't packed it in.

Hi Guys, 

This summer the Six has developed a strange vibration. I'll try to describe. 


Seems to come and go, mostly around 50-ish mph. Feel it in the seat-of-pants. Doesn't really feel like a U-joint but I'm not sure. Rear hubs were rebuilt a couple years ago. Rear axle U-joints were replaced with hub rebuild, but drive shaft U-joints haven't been done. Seems like one of the drive shaft U-joints may have been done years before but can't remember. Front end was rebuilt about 5 years ago, not sure if front bearings were done then, think so. Tires are near end-of-life. Need to be replaced due to age and tread is thin but just haven't done it yet. No accompanying noise, just a new strange tingle in the butt. (haha) 


Any ideas?
