Ok any help would be greatly appreciated. WHAT have you guys heard about the BMR Carbon Fiber Driveshafts?
I installed mine with the upgraded yoke. Its rated for over 1000 hp (not that Ill be at that power level) but its supposed to be the s%^&.

Car has a vibration at 85 to 90 and up MPH. I set the pinion angle at -2* and also already clocked the driveshaft over to next bolt hole , but still vibrates . Is there a Driveshaft out there for the Automatic Cars that doesn't vibrate?
Should I go to a drivetrain specialist and have the check out the shaft to see if it is balanced or what should I do , Im frustrated and ahhhhhhhhhhh.

never heard much about thier driveshafts, most people are running the spyder or the powerhouse driveshafts with no problems.

I seriously think there is an issue with our cars and that's why ford put the 2 piece shaft in. Hopefully someone figures it out.

Driveshaft

Send it back ASAP,tell Lee it vibrates.I got one from them in March/07,it vibrated at 75-80 & beyond.I could not send mine back as i was away for 2 months.My first driveshaft was Driveshaft Shop steel,it vibrated the worst.My car is a manual trans & pinion angle will not help you.The problem is in the tiny slip joint they all use.I finally got one from Ron @ Spydershaft,he told me if it vibrates send it back right away & he would refund the full purchase price.I have no problem with ron's driveshaft,i have 75 hard passes on it with 480 RWHP & Torque.My pinion is also @ -2 as well.Good luck.

PM Sent! Would I need to upgrade to a 1350 u-joint. Is it necessary?

Please PM Me with info.


Pete
i made this an option cause a few customers have asked about it but for 90% of us it's overkill. The standard 1330 u-joints are plenty strong enough and we've not had any reports of problems with them.

Driveshaft

All driveshafts with a reduced size slip joint will vibrate on our cars.Some people have been lucky,you only hear of the ones that have problems & that is alot.Send back the Carbon$$ Fibre$$$ one & get your money back!! Talk to LEE
