Sorry, thought I had created a signature with that info. It’s a ’67 Camaro with 350 SB. Thanks.

Little update guys. I finally got around to rotating the drive shaft, and although it ‘seemed’ to be a little better, still didn’t take it away completely. When I first bought the car, the vibrations were so bad it seemed like the car was possessed. That was before I had the drive shaft balanced, and then it was like butter. Or maybe it just seemed perfect because I had only experienced the exorcist car, and didn’t notice the minor stuff like I have now.

Anyhow, might pull the drive shaft again and have it looked at by the shop to ensure that it is completely balanced or hasn’t had a weight knocked off during alignment or the pinion seal installation.

Thanks again.

Yep, I’ve heard of doing it the same way by making marks on the driveshaft and u-joint. U-joint was replaced not too long ago, so it should be good to go. I’m not able to rotate the tires, except for side to side, as the sizes are not equal from front to back. The wheels and tires are both new, but may need to be balanced again, as they are not hub centric in nature. I have hub centric rings, but wouldn’t hurt. I’m almost finished swapping out the subframe bushings, so it will need to be re-aligned. I’ll try it once the shop has it and report back. Thank again!

That makes sense Barney. I’ll have that rotated on my next visit for alignment and see where it goes. Thanks!
