Can anyone tell me what I need to do with my angles? Ive got a vibration. Its worst around 45 mph then gets better with more speed till about 60 and i can feel it again. Excuse the very crude ms paint pic I made, its just to give a visual of measurements I took with an angle finder. The truck is my 06 silverado ss with belltech spindles, belltech leafpacks and the center carrier bearing brackets that raises the carrier bearing about two inches. The picture is obviously from the drivers side of the truck. Any help is greatly appreciated. i bought 4* axle shims I planned on installing this week.

 

After some more reading, I don't think I even measured the angles correctly. Ill re measure tomorrow.


*after even more reading, I definitely measured wrong lol.

 

One piece drive shaft would cure all problems. Have you remeasured?

 

not in a ecsb !

shoot for -3 to -3.5 at the rear end

 

What would the difference be between the angle vibration an the driveshaft bad. When I give it gas there no vibration. But when I ease off you can feel it. Few months ago rear driveshaft u joint broke on highway. I replaced at wrk. Haven't replace the front one. Also driveshaft is a lil short but I have another one laying around. Should I just replace the front one, or go ahead replace the shaft wit spare n new ujoint

 

id replace the u joints and the carrier bearing.. and if it still vibrates i would have it balanced

 

Well my truck is a 84 c10 single driveshaft. An really didn't have prob until after the 5.3 got put in. Then the ujoint broke then trans. Finally got trans built. But the vibration there. Just tryin fix that so I can start driving again

 

might wanna look into having the drive shaft balanced also.

 

Skeet thanx for the info. I guess ill wait till Wed about having it balanced. ? If I pull the shaft/yoke from the trans will it leak/pour out. There is a few drops right by the seal. Don't wanna pull if it will

 

typically yes it will leak fluid but you are not going to lose all of it only a little.
