I watched the high-school kids at the location Discount Tire balance them and saw when the machine indicated the tire was balanced. So I know the machine showed them all green...but I did read that each tire and wheel has a "heavy" side and that they should be mounted opposite of each other to...

Got the new Tom Woods driveshaft with the spring personally checked by Tom himself and the vibe is the same. So...it's not tires nor the drive shafts front or rear. Thought it might be somehow coming from the engine transmitting vibration into the chassis. It's a slow harmonic vibe and a YJ...

Finally got the tires rebalanced and what'd you know...two of them were out of balance. However....it did not seem to help my vibration at 70+. Talked to Tom from Tom Woods driveshafts and he offered to build me a new rear shaft with an internal spring that he doesn't normally add. I wasn't...

So I put the front driveshaft back in, took the rear out and drove it to work this morning and am still feeling some vibration 70-75mph. While it's less intense I'm still getting some rear view blur. I'm going to keep it like this for at least a few days to be sure and move on to trying...

I have the front out now and just had it rebuilt and balanced. Maybe tonight I'll put it in and take out the rear and drive in 4hi for a couple days to see if the vibes subside.

I originally thought the vibration was only coming from the bottom of the seat as well as in the center console. And this is where a majority of the vibration still resides, however this morning I put my hand flat on the steering wheel at 75 and could see a little vibration there as well...

Putting the pinion 1 degree lower didn't help anything. Going to try a 5 way tire rotation tonight after work to see if that does anything.

I just put the pinion to 1 degree lower than the driveshaft so we'll see how it does tomorrow. I'm leaning towards tires right now though...or maybe front ball joints? Jeep does have 95k on pretty much everything I haven't replaced yet.

I've had the pinion set 1, 2 and 3 degrees lower than the driveshaft and there's no change in the vibration. I figured I'd try it exactly the same and still no change.

Yeah I believe my pinion angle is pretty spot on. Per Tom Woods' recommendation I took the pinion measurement at the inspection window on either side of the diff cover. I get 18.7 degrees at the pinion per my digital angle finder (had to get a digital one cause the needle one I had didn't feel...

My current vibration dilemma: I have a relatively light (however still noticeable) vibration starting between 70-75 mph that I can feel in the seat and see some blur in the rear view mirror. Jeep is a 2004 Rubicon TJ with a 5 speed, 3" Zone suspension lift and I recently did a Rokmen belly...
