More Vibration Woes

[classicauto]

Wheel bearings?

Rear end bearings?

Wheels and tires? (for some reason no one ever seems to check those )

What kind of engine and trans mounts are in the car?

Were good last checked (around the same time as the shaft was replaced.

As in the diff?

I had that thought, I was wondering if I threw a weight or something, but it is hard to put my finger on. I'm leaning more and more to alignment

Trans mounts might be on their way out, but don't think they are. They are stock.

Engine mounts are the MS ones. So only 50% stiffer than stock.

Mint (zero play) or "good" (maybe a little play)

Yep. There's several ways to check, the quick and dirty is the same as any bearing really - feel for play.

I would just get them balanced if you're not sure or haven't had it done recently. Even just age and lack of driving can make a wheel related noise. Alignment, although its a great idea to check it - won't really cause a vibration persay.......if something is totally jacked and a wheel is hopping along the road then yes alingment might cause a vibration, but generally speaking the two are NEVER related.

I see, was mostly curious if they were solid or not, solid trans mounts will shake your balls off.......in a bad way.

Is there ever a good way to shake your balls off? I don't know about you, but I like my balls where they are. I'll look more into the possibilities later this weekend.
