Latest Saga on Body Vibration.
I received the new Hotchkis uppper control arms and fabricate my new tranny cross member with an additional 2" lift. It took my approx. 3 hours a peice to get the old cross member out. The F$%#*ng upper rubber bushings are glued into the can. I'm sure glad the curse police weren't around or I would out big money
But, I did get them installed and I got the cross member in and started the pinion alignment. The control arms give me "plenty" of adjustment so that was great. After experimenting with several different settings (-1, -2, -3 degrees pinion angle) I settled on -2 and there is relatively "zero" noise in the drive train. So, that problem is solved!
However, the vibration is still just as prevalent at 65-70 as before. I am leaning now toward tires rotation, front end alignment. Has anyone tried the "Tire Beads" I hear some good things about them but I don't know if that is all hype (

As Always, Any Help Greatly Appreciated.
