vibration with stock driveshaft?

mustang fanatic · May 2nd, 2008, 08:27 PM

I recently lowered my car and i have noticed that when I reach 80mph I get some serious vibration! I thought this only happened with the one piece shafts. Will an udjustable uca solve this? Should I be having these vibration issues? Thanks guys!

pinion angle. check the angle at the first driveshaft, then take the angle from the pinion flange, subtract, their's your pinion angle.

Should I be having these issues though?

When you lowered your car, you also changed the drive line angle..

+1...happens to some who lower, especially if its 1.5 in or more. Mine does it a little too, so probably putting an adj. uca on soon.

Mine did not do it when I lowered it. But when I put on my 1 piece it vibrated so bad it moved the rear view mirror. I put on a adj uca and it went from 60mph to 75mph. When I put back on the factory shaft it all went away. Ive tried two different d/s and they both created alot of cabin noise and vibrations. I dont think they are a good idea for these cars. Im sure someone on here is going to say that they dont have these problems. I say go ride with them and see for yourself before you buy one.
