I found a driveshaft shop in Glasgow KY call precision driveline. As soon as I walked into his shop I knew he was the guy I wanted to work on my car. Everything was so organized and clean. He had a driveshaft spin balancer and he checked it for runout in three places and he actually said it was kind of bad. It seems like he said it was about .005 out at one end or something? Its been a while so don't quate me on that. He said what the tolerance was and I remember that it was just outside the tolerance. But most vehicles are not beind made to run at 100+ mph. At any rate, it took him about 30 minutes and he was done, fixed my runout problem, shortened it .5", and balanced it for $40! I though that was awesome.

So anyway, I am hoping that was the problem. I havent had it out at any speed yet to see bu I will report back as soon as I can.
Look at post #156 in this thread. Do the pictures look familiar? LOL

Keep me posted. I am curious to see how you do with your vibration issue.

Andrew
