Re: Vibration help

That's the one unfortunately. Where can I find good instructions on measuring the pinion angle? From what the p.o. told me it's an overland 4" lift.

Vibration help

So the new van has a vibration between 62-70ish. Doesn't do it at all above or below those speeds. Only vibrates on throttle and completely goes away if I throw it in neutral.

Sold my beloved 03 awd Astro early 2012 to buy the wife a newer full size Hi-top conversion van. As soon as it drove away I knew I made a mistake. Fast forward to this year I started hunting for another one. Found an 02 awd Safari with a 4' suspension lift nice wheels and tires, flowmaster exhaust, ...
