Driveline vibration solved - mostly
 

Well, looks like I solved 95% of my driveline vibration and just cost me
11.00 (plus a bunch of cussing. It's somewhat of a PITA lining up these
nibs to the perches. I found a sledge hammer works quite well to position
the spring sideways. The use of a mule kick to position it front to back).

Anyway, I took out the 6 degree shim and dropped the pinion down with a 2
1/2 degree shim. Still a tiny bit of vibration there but it's liveable.
Perhaps in the future I can get a CV shaft if the money is around.

Thanks to all,

Bill

Congrats. Did you measure up your new angles?

No. I more or less guessed and got pretty close. They only offered a 4
degree shim and a 2 1/2 degree shim so I guessed at the 2 1/2 degree shim.


You mean to determine if my shaft is within the 15 degree angle?

Hi Bill,
Before you solve your problem with an constant velocity universal
joint, it is important the slope down the output shaft and the slope up
of the pinion angle be the same:
