Re: Need ideas. 15yr old vibration that just won't go away

Even though I was able to demonstrate a fix the design community did not implement my suggestion because I couldn't explain mathematically why it worked.

I think your only choices are to either create a custom length front shaft or go to a one piece shaft; otherwise it is what it is.

Very interesting Keith, my ‘98 extended cab longbed has had vibrations from a stop to about 15-20 mph as long as It’s been in the family, (since 2004). I always figured it was axle wrap. Maybe not.
