SignUp Now!have you had your drive shaft or transmission out recently or taken apart for any reason?
took tires off had it up in the air and went to 70 and felt vibration. trans was out and rebuilt several months ago.
Ok take a moment to breath... did you notice the vibration recently or was it after the tranny was rebuilt and put in? Or had you not just had it up to 70mph until now (recently)and noticed it?
Here's what to do or TRY rather. Take your drive shaft loose out of the u-joint and rotate it 180* then put it back in and go for a spin....
You have to put the drive shaft back in the same way you took it out originally, unless you marked it and did put it back... Ask me how I know.:biggrin:
Mine also clunks when i put it in gear. new drive shaft/tranny/ and u'joints also.
Give the above a try will only take 10 min. if you back the car on ramps, block the front tires, pop it in neutral and give it a go. hth.

didnt notice after tranny was rebuilt but i dont go on the highway too often either. i will try the driveshaft, if thats not it i will have the rear done.
thanks everyone for your replies.
My guess is u joints and or pinion angle. Does the car have adjustable control arms?
Had a vibration in my Hemi Ram that was driving me nuts and it was the rear u joint. Cap had actually fractured. Replaced both u joints and now it is silky smooth again. unfortunately my gas mileage has dropped considerably since I have been enjoying how nice it feels not to have that vibration any more.
Put the car safely in the air with ramps/ jackstands. Emergency brake off and trans in neutral and shake the crap out of the driveshaft at each end. If you have a bad u joint you will know it right away. Drivetrain can't be in any bind to check, not sure how you mechanic did it.
