vibration

hey
when goin over 70 i have a vibration through the centre console of my car any ideas??
it doesnt affect the performace whatsoever as far as i can tell

 

could be anything. start with the usual suspects:

1. Wheels/Tires: out of balance
2. Driveshaft carrier bearing could be shot
3. Tension rod bushings: cracked/leaking?

 

I will put my money on option 2.

If that is the case you will need to either replace the centre bearing of get a 1 piece tailshaft.

 

what are we talkin money wise for parts an labour?

 

Labour is not too hard to do yourself, parts wise I got a 1pce made up by Jeff Lagerway in Knox for $350 change over but I think it has gone up a little since then.

Not sure about the cost or work involved in getting a new centre bearing and replacing that rather than getting a one piece tailshaft.

 

You are talking $500-$600 supply and fitted for a locally built one-piece tailshaft(the dearest, but definitely the best option long term).

 

Is the carrier bearing the same as the center bearing? i have the same problem but i dont think that the center bearing is whats causing the problem? if i rotate the shaft 180 to the rear diff would this change any thing?

sorry to add my problem

 

You all forget the uni joints.

I have had vibrations in both my cars. Changing the center bearing did nothing in either of them. One piece fixed it.
