Recently purchased an '86 Syncro Westy ..that has what I thought was a typical Syncro driveshaft vibration. It would get increasingly worse with speed....making driving over 65 mph uncomfortable. It has a split yoke aftermarket driveshaft so I thought that was the problem. But yesterday I pulled out the driveshaft out and it STILL vibrates strongly ...only now only between 45-65mph instead of constantly ...increasing with speed ....like it did before. Now it's smooth under 40 and over 65 mph. The vibration doesn't feel like a wheel balance problem, which I've felt many times..but I'll try a different set of wheels/tires...just to check. This vibration feels much more like a high frequency harmonic vibration... The transaxle was rebuilt by German Transaxle about 25K ago. Need some diagnostic tips here. What else in the driveline could cause a high frequency vibration ...with the driveshaft out. Axles ?? CV joints? Wheel bearing ??? How to check/test these? Warren C.
