I took the driveline off of my van tonight just to test it out. Smooth as silk. Took the subie engine up to 95mph. and no buzzing or vibrations from anywhere! I am excited to get this little problem behind me as it has been the cause, (I'm sure), of many a busted header pipe on my sube engine. As well, it has caused the rear driveshaft seal on my new trans to leak liquid gold (Redline MT). I am tempted to throw the damn drivshaft into the pond. Just want to find out more about the shimming of the front diff. Ordered flex disc and OEM u-joints from Vanagain just to make sure this is done correctly. Mike G. |
