Hello all...I recently posted about a vibration I'm having at 30 and 60mph.
I have some new information to share and some more questions. I purchased the hub centering rings from Chris Foley and they made no difference. Today I took the car to my mechanic's shop and we put it on a hoist and I ran it up to 70mph. The shake/vibration was still there!! So, it's obviously NOT in the front end. Mechanice says he's pretty sure the shaking stopped when I put the trans in neutral and turned off the engine. Although that could be a function of the speed reducing also. So, where to look now? Flywheel? CV joints/axles? Car is a 74 2.0 liter. Thanks as always... Mike |

Sorry...I wasn't clear.
I was asking if it's possible to remove the Axle shafts without removing the heat exchangers. Is there enough room to get them out using your method? Cheers Mike |
