I'm wondering if there is someone near Headland AL zip code 36345 that would help me figure out this Vibration nightmare. I have removed rear ds (tom woods cv) not much better removed the front ds(stock driveshaft) problem seemed to have gotten a little worse. Seems to be worse between 50 to 55. I do not feel any vibs in the steering wheel, I feel it in the pedals and seats. you place a bag in the pass seat an see if moving from the vibs.

Thanks,
Chad

separated rear tire, bent wheel, bent axle, severely out of balance rear tire.

just some things to look for

I agree, you have a rear tire either out of round (defective) or severely out of balance. Jeep tires should be dynamicly (spin) balanced, a bubble balancer is seldom good enough.

If this has been happening for a while and your tire is worn unevenly (scalloped) then there is no fixing it, it must be replaced.

Ok is there someone close by that has a set of 33's or 35's that we could swap out and test drive to see if it made a difference and go from there?

Thanks,

well think i found part of the problem I have a older Tom Woods driveshaft that has the adapter ring that bolts to the dampner. 1 bolt completely gone, 1 bolt with about 2 threads holding it on, 1 bolt about 2 turns loose, and the last one was still tight. (All these bolts had lock tight on them when installed) What do you think caused them to back out? Still got the vibe so I have ordered a new HAD driveshaft along with the new flange from Jesse at HAD so it all will be balanced. Anyone near headland (36345) that is willing to help me out with this install. Jesse told me to be careful with a pin dropping down when doing the install.

I can't help you on the loc-tite failing. Heck, I removed the factory loc-tite patch and intead added anti-seize and the 4 bolts have never loosened from the balancer flange. Perhaps removing the balancer was a bad idea. It went out of favor fairly quickly.
