I'm not aware of driveshafts being stolen.

I've seen them stolen here since they're made of aluminum.

**08RCSB** · 10-29-2009, 02:23 AM

I know OEM wheels are notorious for supposedly not needing hammer on weights on the outside, mine needed them. I had shakes that wouldn't go away when I first got these. I had road force balancing done with hammer weights on the outside, smooth as glass.

shit's wild. I guess they don't try that shit in Texas because they all know we're badass mother fuckers like TonyT919 or whatever his name was.

*****Look out Sam, serious post RELATED to the thread :omg:*******

Usually if you don't request the road force balancing, they won't do it even if they have the machine. It takes longer to do, most places want you in and out.

You still get problems. Im lazy, but ive messed with mine a couple of times and still haven't got it right. I had a vibration and rubbing issue so brought the pumpkin down, still had a vibration at highway speeds and deceleration. So I put it down more and now it throws the rear tires forward when I accelerate. I wish I had a damn lift. It's hard to measure when I set my front ride height.I will try again tomorrow or friday. I might put it back where it was and try flipping my shaft around.

Well it's damn near impossible to get CCW out here. Not the case in Texas, they hand that shit out like candy.

Yeah, I tried to explain that to him. I guess I was unsuccessful

I have an extra GF shim/spacer that goes under the transmission mount, that might help your angle on the other end and its easy to install

not so much. maybe excessive positive angle, but excessive angle will vibrate accelerating and decelerating.

It will be 1-2* negative when he is done I can guarantee this. I need a good long vacation from this computer shit. think I'll start tomorrow.

so I do know shit but I dont know shit? right on.

I brought in the link just to give you a little reading since your rusty at it. I could give a shit less what "this" truck needs. Its all measurements and its not truck bias. It is however gm bias, which I know very well. I think you should take a vacation, maybe Sam can get his truck fixed up in the mean time.

**08RCSB** · 10-29-2009, 10:53 AM

It's almost 7 AM Cali time. He should have this figured out by now.

**08Chevy** · 10-29-2009, 11:04 AM

He said it was his tires. He went and got them re balanced and I think it fixed it.

cajundragger · 10-29-2009, 12:57 PM

I wouldnt doubt it if it was his tires.

is this drop any lower(different) than the other one he had?

**08Chevy** · 10-29-2009, 12:59 PM

yes, he is sitting 6/9 compared to the 4/7 he had.

**SamCarroll** · 11-01-2009, 04:55 PM

finally was able to get under my truck today. its definitely not my tires. its the pinion angle. My driveshaft was loose too

So i tightened that down and took it for another rip and it did the same thing so i ordered 2* shims so i have to wait for those to come in and then ill install and hopefully itll be gone.

***Matt*** · 11-01-2009, 05:01 PM

You mean the ujoint was bangin around in there?

yeah but the vibration is still there so that didnt help or hurt anything.

It was tight when i first put it back on

Reminds me i need to re-torque everything else.

**08RCSB** · 11-01-2009, 05:51 PM

Did you get a longer center pin?
