finally_got_it

It all started about a month ago...I installed new u-joints(driveshaft and half shafts), and after a while it was popping/squealing so i had a mechanic freind of mine look at it and i had apparently not gotten a collar tight on the right rear halfshaft where it attaches to the wheel. It had wobbled around in the coupling and wallered out the tab where its the u-joint is suppoed to seat in. A fellow forum member who lives close by(thanks blkzr1!!) happened to have a spare stubshaft?/mini yoke? whatever its called; He came over sunday and helped me remove the old one and install the one that he had as well as a new teflon washer behind it. We torqued everything back to specs and test drove it and it drove PERFECT!! over the next couple of days i have developed a horrible vibration in 1st and 2nd gear in lower rpms while under load, as well as when im turning and accelerating? What have i done? Any professional guidance would be greatly appreciated!!

I'd be looking at other points of the Drive line and suspension. this Vibration is only under a load, it has to be drive line related and/or suspension which includes wheel bearings.

Since it is only in first and second gears, it isn't likely to be related the the spindle replacement, just done.

RACE ON!!!

You describe it as a vibration but could it be a "shudder" feeling? If so it could be tranny related (Torque Converter)
