I agree with John, Tomb, and mike that the angles should match. And will set mine the same.bigdan wrote:Troubleshooting continues . . . . .
Finally took the 65 out to test the new adjustments. The vibration that appears to have originated from the driveshaft is gone, or barely noticeable, but now other issues seem to be arising. I do still have a slight vibe on acceleration, and a fairly steady one at 70-75 mph also.
For the acceleration vibe, plan is to pull the driveshaft and get balance checked, especially since there are no weights on it. I'm debating on motor and tranny mounts as well. Any recommendations on motor mounts - preferably something more rigid than the stock rubber? Trans mount ideas? Currently using a stock 68-69 Bronco mount - hey, it was the right height!
As for the high speed vibe. I'm thinking that could be a rotor or wheel; kind of curious if my trim rings could be throwing it off a bit.
Keep in mind these aren't ridiculous vibrations, but any one of us would notice. Any pointers are welcome -
Thanks for looking -
Dan
Not all pinions are centered with the trans, so you want to check those angles to. Which is hard to explain but if you look at the picture at the end of the page on this link you will get what I am saying. The angles being talked about are the ones from the side view in the picture, the angles from the top view in picture are also important.
