dude the carbon fiber is FN 600 dollars! wayy out of the price range I thought the aluminum one was like 200?? and yea I am 100% positive it's my drivshaft thats causing vibrations!
Honestly, i've never heard of driveshaft go out of balance in our car.
Thats big issue with 4th gen F-bodys.
That does not mean it doesn't happene tho
Befor you go dropp $250 on new aluminum driveshaft and what not, I would do the following.
Check and make sure that frange at the pinion yoke is torqued evenly. If this is not evenly tigtened, that'll cause a vibrations. all you need is small piece of rust or sand stuck between those connection for it to not torque down evenly.
u had ring and pinion installed. safe to assume that driveshaft was off the car. and around axle is usually pretty rusty, and covered in dirt and stuff. it could very well be
Also, prolly not case with you, but
Make sure that U-joint is situated in dead center.
When i got my shaft used, it didn't come with yoke. so i had to transfar my yoke off of steel shaft. and boy it vibrated.
turned out that my U joint was not pushed in all the way(in our car, there is a clip that prevents u-joint from moving around. that clip did fit nicely on one side. but was really tight to clip it back on on the other side)
It was off of center may be by the thickness of credit card or so, and that was enugh to cause nasty vibration.
If u check above, and thats okay, then pay someone 20bucks to get it balanced.
If that fix the vibration, then ya shaft was out of balance.
I mean thats just suggestion - But i bet anything if you get new aluminum shaft, it won't fix it.
it might. But why take a chance with expensive option first?? do free check, and cheap fix first.
And can someone validate the crame of dog bone not being needed with 4.10?
