  1. got it up. Rear drive shaft U-joint. it does have 271K on it! down side is ~$600 (retail) for the entire shaft, which is the only way you can buy it, no replacement for the U, but an easy swap out.
  2. OK, I got a new set of Michelins. Vibration is still there at same speeds, ~30mph and 50-60 mph, whether in gear or coasting. I have an appointment to get it in the rack Saturday morning. I'll post an answer. If / When I find one! positive though is that the Pirellis cost me $30 to run for a year, 37k out of teh 80K rating with a rebate and 251$ credit.
  3. Thanks yeah, hand made costs more. I avoid hand made as machines really never have "bad days". These tires are Pirelli cinturato. they weren't cheap, but not super premium either. thanks and I will let you all know if a new set, NOT PIRELLI this time, clears it up. I was hoping that a rotation would help me find the problem tire, but I can't pinpoint it. which is odd
  4. cool. thanks. so with that in mind, does it still sound like a bad tire? causing this issue? The guys just came out and said "they all balanced out fine"
  5. right on! yupp, it's been a time since I had the alignment done, like 100k+. but squeeky wheel, no probs = no reason. I run around 35 in the summer, lower in the winter, just in case I hit some slick spots. I am unclear as to why the wobble or vib wouldn't show on the spin balance at Discount Tire. can you tell me how that works?
  6. no pull. I will get some credit on the tires, so not a big deal. Still no reason for the vibration at certain speeds though?! could a bad belt that doesn't show in the spin balance explain. not from what I can figure. anyone?
  7. 2000 OBW manual, 270k miles I noticed an odd vibration into a long trip. only at ~55mph. threw it in neutral, still there at same speeds. a few hundred miles later (no choice weekend trip and no where to get them checked), it was spreading through a larger range of speed, 50-65. Got a rotation and balance, they said it was good but tires were wearing way too fast. 35k into an 80k tire and near the Wear Bar Last set of tires was fine and outlasted the 60k rating by 10k. said wear was even, didn't appear mechanical. -Could this be a bad tire? that didn't show in spin balance -if not what is it? could it be? Mind you I am super anal about rotation, balance, and mileage. none of these showed any change.
  8. thanks/. now why are we on here at 11 on friday night? I have no power. wind storm. 2 dayz now. a week this summer
  9. do you have the website? and is that the problem? p420 again, I am not going to fix it unless it will get me better mileage! but then again, you are the man
