    Question?

    Ok, well today i crawled under my car to do some work since it was nice... and decided to take a look at the driveshaft and u-joints to try to find the culpret of why my car shakes at like 75+, well the u-joints look fine, but idk if its just the way i was looking at it or what, but it looks like my driveshaft is either bent or crooked... wtf could have caused this?

    but i think if the day is nice tomorrow, im going to rip it out, and take it to mapco to have it balanced.. and hopefully that fixes the problem... if not ima jump this car off a cliff...

    If the driveshaft was weighted from the factory (which i'm not sure of) its possible that the weights could have fell off or the wheel weights from one of the wheels could have fallen off. I would think that a wheel weight could be the problem before the driveshaft.

    im not sure you would be able to see if it was bent... you would have to spin it wit wheels off the ground in gear with car running. a shop can tell you if it is.

    idk, almost everybody on here that has replied in the past said it sounds like driveshaft, if my clutch pedal and shifter shake..
