So just wondering what people have seen in the process of fixing their drive shaft...
The symptom I'm having is at speeds above what I can say I'm doing leagaly..
The car seems to have a semi heavy feel vibration (No i dont have the A/C going)...
I do not think its the tires as its not translated to the steering wheel but just feel it throughout the rest of the car?
Speeds upto 65-70 seems with no vibration at all, but higher and it gets exptentally worse - won't even get close to triple digits even on the "cough" race track.
I looked at the center bearing and it looks like it sags about maybe 1/4 of inch if that? and i have never replaced it since i have owned the car...Some 14+ years..
So I'm think of rebuilding it?
Anyone have any input or concerns? I have a press so I should be able to press in and out the bearings, I think Im more concerned about the CV joints on each end if parts are available and if I need anything special for them? Plus any tips or hints or things to prepare for so I can preorder what I need?
Thanks so much in advance!
