I get this when I go to this site. Wasn't sure if it was the site or the latest update to Firefox. I'm seeing other changes to the site. Login page is different. Seem to get that popup when I post.

Ms

The drive shaft will rotate at a different rate than the half-shafts or wheels so this device will help to pinpoint or eliminate the drive shaft as a source of the vibration. Might help.

When it starts the oscillation have you tried taking the car out of gear? That way you might be able to determine if the problem is with wheels/tires/suspension or the actual drive train.

It is a little crazy down there. A couple years ago we visited and I couldn't even bring my pocketknife because it has a spring mechanism. Ultimate nanny-state.

I had a mystery leak in my small block so I had a mechanic add some florescent dye to the oil. After running the engine he put on some special glasses and could see exactly where the leak came from.

Couple things: I have a TKO 500 in my '70 that was installed without cutting the crossmember; the later models (81 and 82) had bolt-in crossmembers.
