well well well.. as i wrote on saturday everything seemed fine after my pro=
pellar shaft "rebuild"..... to day i started noticing som noice.. not rattl=
ing or anything, but more like a buzzing sound comming at around 50 mph and=
 when i haul ass its like a vibration, but not like before.. sound more lik=
e someone is drilling a hole in the car somewhere..  i got home and went fo=
r som heavy acceleration test in first gear... sheeesh.. it really sounds b=
ad.. almost like the shaft is rubbing towards the some metal underneath the=
 car...

i'm thinking of going under the car again tonight even if i dont really wan=
t to spend more hours underneath there.

i have 3 questions also.

Will the position of the shaft be different if the car is jacked up or not?=
 i dont think so?

And the carrier bearing mounting on the car can be adjustet both sideways a=
nd forward and backwards... i positioned it after tightening the shaft in b=
oth ends so the bearing was kinda in neautral..opinions?

And can my gearbox or rear diff have taken some serious damage after i drov=
e 3 days with the broken shaft that made the car shake and rattle?? i guess=
 i drove about 30 miles al together before taking it of... only carefull dr=
iving.
