Re: Vibration (was Steering Rack Problems)

["Dave Ewing" <rabbit16v@prodigy.net>]

Actually, the vibration started (or got worse I should say) when I had my
new rims installed with my old tires (still about 50-60% tread left).  The
vibration was worse so I took it back and they balanced them again.  There
was a "slight" vibration before I did the wheel swap but not near as bad as
when I got it back.  I figured the "slight" vibration that I had would be
taken care of with the new wheels and fresh balance.  I had an alignment
done right after that with no difference (I had replaced a tie rod end and
wanted to make sure I was going straight before my 2500 mile trip).  So, now
I am questioning everything else.  I will check the CV axles but I just put
a new clutch in about 3 months ago when I did the 2nd gear synchro and I
remember them being tight.  Any other ideas??  TIA!
