Thread: Possible driveshaft vibration

  1. #1

    Possible driveshaft vibration

    Im just wondering if anyone else has felt the low level vibtration at around 70. I cant tell if its tranny, driveshaft or whatever. Just doesnt sound smooth- Very similiar to a driveshaft inbalance I found on one of my Chevelles. Ive heard , I believe on this site, that there is a driveshaft issue with the 03MM. Any ideas?

    I know what you're talking about... Went away when I installed my DynoTech driveshaft from Reinhart...

    I haven't noticed any vibration cruising at 70 - or 80 for that matter - or, well - you get the idea!

    It's not something I've noticed.

    Logan, How much was the drive shaft ?

    I cruise at 70+ rather regular, haven't noticed anything...yet. Been up to 125, nothing. What's happening here? I recall drive shaft vibtation from '70 something Chevy products too, noticed it first in the mirrors, but I can't see LM letting this car out (with all these performance features) without considering a proper drive shaft. has anyone checked to see what comes stock?

    Smooth as glass for me cruising between 80 and 100. Haven't been over 100 though, so I can't speak about vibration at high speeds.

    I think if your at WOT with OD off, you can hit 120+, but that would be about it.
