I fixed my vibes.

[srmitchell]

After changing the front shaft 3 times, changing the pinion angle, and changing many many parts, my annoying 62 mph+ vibe is gone.

I had the front axle rebuilt a year and a half ago. Looks like the pinion nut wiggled loose and it was allowing the yoke to wobble. We inspected the threads, and yoke, and nothing look damaged. You can see wear on the nut.

We reinstalled it, re torqued it, and wow.... Vibes are gone.

Stoked!!!

Hopefully my bearings are ok. I'll check the fluid.

Not bad. Only took you about 3 years, congrats. What's next on the "things that will take Columbus a lifetime to diagnose and fix" list?

Just kidding. Glad you got it figured out.

Haha thanks Josh. Next is an oil change. It's been about... Uhhhh 4 years. They come with oil installed right? The previous owner said the oil was new, and that was in 07. Am I good?

Yes Mike. Nice gloves. Haha. Thank for your help brotha!!

Nice! What did you need to torque the nut to?

 

[srmitchell]

We torqued it to almost 150.
