Drivetrain Vibration over 50MPH ??
I just replaced the transfer case and (3) rear U-joints on my FSB. It now has a noticeable vibration over 50MPH that I hadn't noticed before.
The transmission mechanic who did the work says the rear U-Joints are all OK now and he suspects the vibration is coming from the front drivetrain.
Also, I do know the PS Auto-hub is stuck in the locked position. The next fix to install Manual hubs.
Could the PS hub be causing this vibration or what ??

What was the condition of the Centering ball/stud? That's what happend to me. I replaced the three U-joints and after a week of driving, the centering ball/stud went bad. Just something to look for.

I was going to pull the front driveshaft (as suggested above), but decided to double check the rear driveshaft for play etc...
This is what I found upon further inspection.
See if you might see what the problem is here. Do you think my "former transmission mechanic "MAY" have "forgot" to do something here ????????
The picture below is of the CV (double U-joint) that is located on the front of the rear driveshaft. This is the part my "former" transmission mechanic JUST replaced (2) days ago!!!
