I either need a new diff, or a new driveshaft(again)
Anyone have any input? The driveshaft has about ~10k miles on it, I just rebuilt the CV axles and replaced the tranny mounts(these were in half, maybe caused the driveshaft to go bad again? the u-joints feel fine when it's off the car. New fluid is in the diff

I'm down for St.Aug but my wife's due the 11th so i dont know what'll happen if she goes early or later so I won't have an idea until closer to that time. An A1A cruises would be perfectDENY IGNORANCE!

the problem is a vibration under load, mostly above 2k rpms. really bad vibration and you can feel it coming from the rear or towards the rear of the car.
e30 u-joints aren't serviceable so yes they were replaced with the driveshaft
also diff mount looks solid no cracks.
no noises other than what the vibration causessigpicOriginally posted by e30hijinksI move faster than "the speed of light." I'm always connected to my Blackberry and am ready to purchase at a moment's notice. I do not play games

I second CSB. You didn't install it with tension on the bushing did you? I know that pretentioning the csb was floating around for whatever reason. That'll wear it out prematurely much like bolting up the guibo the wrong way. Made sure driveshaft was put together perfectly so it stayed balanced when you installed it?DENY IGNORANCE!

The csb and guibo were replaced along with the driveshaft. I'm not sure what y'all mean by pretentioning and how to insure it stays properly balanced during install? I hope I haven't messed the new(ish) shaft up.. But it will be nice to know what is causing thissigpicOriginally posted by e30hijinksI move faster than "the speed of light."

When you replace the CSB you have to separate the 2 halves of the driveshaft by unscrewing the big collar nut. You're supposed to mark both sides of the driveshaft so you know exactly how it went together so it stays balanced.
As far as pretentioning the CSB. When you bolt it up some people thought that you should slide it forward so that there is tension on the bushing when you tightened it instead of just positioning it normally without any tension.DENY IGNORANCE!

Yeah I made sure the side went together the same way they came apart. No I did not do the pretentioning procedure, I'll line it up with some string to ensure that it is straight from diff flange to trans flange when I get back in town
Thanks for the advice!sigpicOriginally posted by e30hijinksI move faster than "the speed of light." I'm always connected to my Blackberry and am ready to purchase at a moment's notice. I do not play games
