Noticed an unpleasant vibration at specific speeds, I think it's the driveshaft.

Post by Josephsnugh »

Hello all!

I'm dealing with a frustrating problem – I'm experiencing a noticeable vibration while driving at speed, and it's clear the driveshaft is the culprit. The vibration is worse around 80-90 km/h. Based on some forum posts, it looks like an imbalance issue.

I'm trying to choose the best way to resolve this:

Remove it and take it to a balancing machine. It's a reliable method, though it's a bit of a hassle and expensive. Some say you can balance it directly on the car. They use special equipment to balance it on a lift without removing it.

Has anyone used this method for balancing the driveshaft ? Let me know how it worked for you. I appreciate any advice in advance!

I always end up just replacing it.
