I am experiencing a rumble between 40-55 mph which
seems to be the driveshaft out of balance. (I just
bought the van). This seems a bit strange since the
driveshaft looks fresh, recently painted and seems to
have been balanced.
I want to pull it out, then drive it to see if the
rumble goes away. I don't believe there would be any
problem driving such a short distance without it,
but........ I live in snow country. I don't really
need the syncro working 6-7 months out of the year. I
am thinking about removing the drive shaft each summer
and reinstalling in the winter to extend the life of
the VC and syncro bits.
Any idea if this idea is completely proposterous?
Is it not worth the effort?
Thanks in advance,
Brian
