I've been having a rear end vibration in my Hilux ever since I swapped in 5.29 gears in November. It has annoyed me beyond belief as I have seriously spent an uncountable amount of time trying to figure out this--what should be a--no brainer problem
Mega huge long story short: I now have a ballanced 120 wall rear CV drive shaft (third shaft trying solve problem), a brand new professionally set up Yukon 5.29 gear set (second one trying to solve problem). rear pinion angle of 3 degrees if I'm measuring it right (Pretty sure I am). I STILL have a vibration between 58 and 70 MPH. It's a vvrrrrommmmm.. vvrrrrommmmm.. vvrrrommm.. type of thing. Any ideas?
I have tried pulling the drive shaft apart and aligning the yokes in the two different ways with little success. I have also rotated my tires and had them ballanced so that variable is out. My last guess is the thick wall shaft or just bad luck plain and simple :-\ anyone else have problems with a thicker wall drive shaft at higher speeds?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks,
Andrew
