How We Cured a Nasty Driveshaft Vibration in Our New Mini-Truck.

Last time on Finnegan's Garage you saw me road trip this sweet 1985 Nissan 720 mini-truck home from Alabama and this time we get to workin out the kinks in the drivetrain. While it runs great, it is not the smoothest thing in the world. The problem is related to lowering the suspension without addressing the affects of relocated driveline. Lowering the truck changed the angles of both the u joints and the driveshaft and combined with a wasted carrier bearing, resulted in a wicked vibration that you could see and feel in the shifter.
