When a U-joint first fails it doesn't necessarily show looseness - you have to remove the shaft(s) to really know but usually better or worse with acceleration or deceleration at first, T Sidom Veteran / Moderator Jan 15, 2010, 9:00 PM Post #3 of 6 (3554 views) Re: vibration Sign In We're going to need to know at what speeds & conditions the vibration is happening at to even venture a guess........... snkr32 Novice Jan 16, 2010, 5:11 AM Post #4 of 6 (3552 views) Re: 2002 Explorer vibration Sign In at 40 km it starts.at 80 km its worse.and i just grabbed the driveshaft and tried to move it.seemto be solid Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 16, 2010, 5:52 AM Post #5 of 6 (3550 views) Re: 2002 Explorer vibration Sign In See if this pic shows........ It's not enough to just check for visual looseness. In pic above you can see where needle bearings have indented the X of the joint. Under load it tries to cross those lumps and can vibrate. If off vehicle the joints should freely/smoothly just drop in both directions which is impossible to do in place. Again - when one binds up it will usually be better or worse with loads and then it's suspect. You might visually see some rust staining which is also a clue. Many are tight before they show play which means it's really gone. Index shaft to attaching area when removing a shaft so you can replace it in same position. You have the symptoms and I don't know of anything other way to verify the real condition without removing to check, T nickwarner Veteran / Moderator Jan 18, 2010, 9:42 AM Post #6 of 6 (3535 views) Re: vibration Sign In your driveshaft could have an imbalance. They shaft is balanced at the factory by welding on weights as needed. Look to see if there is a spot where on used to be and has been broken off. If so, contact a driveshaft company and get it rebalanced   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
