    massive vibrations.....

    hello gentlemen, its been a long time but i finally found a couple of minutes to get on and check the site out. let me jump into it.
    these vibrations that ive been noticing only happen when im on the freeway or when i go 50mph+. im haulin it on the freeway and while im on the gas its fine, its when i let go of the gas that the entire car starts vibrating like theres no 2morow. im guessing its my rear end. but why though? or is it something else? i put in the posi-trac about 8 months ago but even before then i remember that around the same speed it would start vibrating. so what do you gentlemen think it is? any info is appreciated and if its something bad, can i still drive like that or should i get to stepping?

    STOP DRIVING and check those driveshaft universal joints. Mine vibrated like a mother f'er when i let off the gas on the highway since two of the cups had no needle bearings in them at all.

                +4. Bad U-Joints. If they are good, then I recommend a driveshaft balance.
