What does Jim Clark do for driveline vibration?
Jim Clark, Hot Rod M.D. — The process that can be used to address a condition called drive-shaft/universal joint cancellation, often referred to as adjusting pinion angle . This process can be used to eliminate the vibration and premature wear caused by improper orientation and phasing of the drive-shaft.
Why does the vibration go away at high speed?
Since it goes away at high speed I guess its not a balance issue. Tire shop guy said that it could either be a bad shock or that one of the belts in a rear tire is starting to go. At high speed the wheel expands and stretches out the belts so the vibration goes away.
Is there a problem with my driveline vibration?
A number of problems can be associated with poor driveline performance, below we offer information on how to identify the problem and additional information on what may be causing the condition to help you in diagnose problems that fall into the following categories:
What causes vibration on a second order drive?
Second order driveshaft vibration is usually caused by: Incorrect Vehicle Trim Height. Powertrain Mounting Problems. Failed or Failing U-Joints. Improperly phased or twisted driveshafts. Improper driveshaft angles. Driveshaft angle problems can be felt at very low speeds, and higher speeds. Drive Axle Problems.
When do you feel vibration on your driveshaft?
Vibration Analysis. A component rotating the same speed as the driveshaft that is out-of-balance. Drive axle problems. Driveshaft balance issues can generally be felt at vehicle speeds over 30mi./h A Second order driveshaft vibration will cause two shakes or disturbances for each revolution of the driveshaft.

Can a Cardan U-joint cause a third order vibration?
Third order driveshaft vibration will cause three shakes or disturbances for each revolution of the driveshaft. This type of vibration is very rare and will not be present on vehicles with Cardan U-joints. IMPORTANT: A component that is out of balance will NEVER cause a third or higher order vibration, only a first order vibration.
