66 vibration
bootlegger:
The tyres are old and I did look for bulging. They looked fine. I have bought a set of stock rims for the car but have been putting off buying tyres as There is still heaps of tread on the ralleys.
Which unis are you talking about the Tailshaft or the half shafts.
The half shafts are easy to get to the tailshaft looks like a night mare to get out.

Ive never changed them but the guy I bought it off said he did the half shafts. Ive had the car almost five years but I didnt ask him when he did it. The car underneath looks like its never been apart.
I just put all new brake calipers.Ive put a heap of miles on her since I bought it. I think its time do give the car a birthday.

remember where park brake is when you lift the rear of the car.
chock front wheels first
if you can lift the car
at the rear remove the wheels
and give all the universals a good look at see if you can get any play at all in them
check the input bearing on the pinion shaft for play
It would be a good idea to take the drive shaft out and have a look at the universals
to get a vibration you will have something running at reasonable rpm
and prop shaft runs at least three time faster that the half shaft run
while you are at it check the front mounts of the diff

do you get any vibration with the gear box in neutral and engine at 4500 RPM
77CVT:
If taking the tailshaft out you may as well replace the uni's. Just like most cars you have to undo the rear uni first and slide it out.
Remember that auto fluid may run out the rear when removing.
Not fun but not hard.

and they have had u bolts retainers bother ends
of the shaft.
