driveshaft vibration
I've got a problem I'm trying to troubleshoot for quite a while. The problem: when starting from a stop I get a vibration/shutter at about 8-10mph and then it goes away. The vibration is noticabley worse when I'm pulling a load. I've had all the u-joints in the diveshaft replaced but didn't fix the problem. My regular mechanic thinks that maybe the driveshaft angle has changed due to the rear springs settling. I'm not convinced. Any thoughts?

I also have noticable noise that shows up between 60-70 mph. The noise sounds a lot like highway tire noise (but as I said it goes away above 70 mph) and it is worse when loaded. My feeling is that these two issues are related.?. Maybe driveshaft imbalance?

Id go to a place that specializes in suspension work. Alignments tires an drivelines. They can check your driveshaft out to see if theres an imbalance. These guys really know there stuff an Im sure youll find out your problem. Good Luck keep us posted.
