Don't know of any. I'm hoping an expert here will check out the other thread I posted in will be able to guide me based on the info I'm providing. Worst case scenario, I tow it to a shop. At least I have AAA.Is there a rear end specialist you can call and and ask for guidance? I don't know if your ride's a DD, but I'd rather get that resolved before you drive that thing at all...hope you get this resolved...I'm sure the man upstairs will guide you....
Hey Hey there now. Remember you are an American citizen now and freedom of religion, or lack thereof, is freely practiced here!! And by the way, everytime I've sinned, I haven't been able to remember her name afterwards...
Well after several tries adjusting the P/A I still have vibes in my driveline and there all at the same speeds, 95-105. And then I have vibes on decel decelerating from 105 down to about 75. My wheels are stock, my UCA, LCAs and panhard bar are all poly. I'm lowered with Eibach prokit springs. I removed and reinstalled the D/S once and everything was torqued with a torque wrench and I also loctited everything. Not sure what other parts could be affecting the situation. I reclocked the pinion flange to the D/S to see if that would work. Right now my P/A is about -2 maybe -2.25. Maybe I'll take it to a driveline shop and make sure everything is balanced right. Any other suggestions? I just want to be one of the cool guys with the buttery smooth spydershaft. But one cool thing that did happen is that the spydershaft eliminated 95% of my gear whine.
LSlayer: since you have the Adj LCA's as well, maybe its not the vertical pinion angle that's the problem, maybe one of the LCA's is shorter than the other, pulling the DS to one side and causing the Ujoint to make noise/vibrate?
The pinion angle I have is 1.5º to 2.5º (margin of error on the angle finder is a ½º).
The only other thing I could suggest, if you can't get this resolved, is to ask Ron if you can ship it back to him for an exchange....even with his high quality control there's bound to be a faulty one et some point...and if it still vibrates AFTER THAT, then something else is the culprit...
I'm in a similar situation. I installed mine last week and had a vibration from 2500-2800. Noticable more in 3rd & 4th gear. So, today we put the car back up to double check everything. I did the following:
and I still have the vibration at the same rpm range.
- Marked the install location of the ds flanges relative to the trans flange and the pinion flange.
- Removed the driveshaft
- Checked pinon nut torque
- Checked pinion angle (using a digital level +/- .3)
- Checked torque of UCA bolts
- Checked LCAs for equal lengths
- Verified the position of the rear wheels/axle relative to the body and frame
- re-installed ds clocked 90* from original install location
- Checked for any interference between ds and safety loop (BMR - it is spaced forward for the MGW shifter) or body
- Checked for interference between shifter (MGW) and loop or ds
We came to a similar conclusion that the ds or flange might be slightly out of balance.
LSlayer - when did you get your Spydershaft?
Perhaps the balancing machine was off????
2MFF, LSlayer, was a puller used to remove your stock pinion flange?

I personally wish I never saw the option to use anything other than a puller, even so, I wish I had stopped and ran to the store when it first gave me a hard time coming off. I know I had some prior gear issues, but banging on things with precise measurements is never a good idea. Lesson learned.My puller wouldn't fit so I used a pusher. 3lb short handle sledge hammer.
hindsight's 20/20 my friend! if I'd known my 1st wife would turn out to be a bitch from Hell, and my 2nd a pill-popping psycho, I'd have waited till I ran into my 3rd...I personally wish I never saw the option to use anything other than a puller, even so, I wish I had stopped and ran to the store when it first gave me a hard time coming off.
