Fixed my vibration

First my dealer "road force balanced" my tires. No good. Second they installed a black box on my rear driver side leaf spring to dampen the vibration. No good. Third they installed a new driveshaft but it made it worse, they said it was defective and ordered another. No good. Finally they adjusted the angle of my driveshaft by putting a wedge under my rear springs, said it was at 3 degrees and they took it down to 1 degree. Darned if it didn't take out 95% of what i felt while maintaining between 50 and 60 mph. Hope your dealer can help yours.
