    Not sure...

    Ok so I installed new driveshaft and guibo, and actually did it twice because the first new shaft was not balanced correctly and yes, I did use a new guibo both times. Now I experience a vibration at around 60mph to about 80. Its not loud or very violent, just enough to message my back through the seat. Loose bolts?

    I also know that my control arm bushings are pretty well shot...could they be the source of the vibration although there is no vibration through the steering wheel?

    Are your wheels balanced? Missing any wheel weights?

        That was the first thing I checked. All the weights were in place...having them rebalanced soon though..

            update...i can get up to about 60-70(where the vibration begins) and when I hit the brakes I get a lot of clunk noises from my front wheels and brakes...so I figure the vibration is from the control arm bushings...?

                ANY FUCKING ONE HAVE A CLUE?

                Jack up the car and take a 3' pry bar and move shit around till you find something.

                  Based upon the braking I would guess lcabs as well. Take a look under the car.

                  Edit: I agree with b*saint. Get it to a shop or get dirty.
