Happy Labor Day

and laboring, I am. I properly indexed the driveshaft, replaced the bad u-joint (rear), the other two were fine. I replaced the tranny mount. The center bearing turns freely, quietly and without any "grit' feeling to it. I drained and refilled the differential fluid. The fluid level is as recommended.

The car shook while putting in reverse to back up on Friday and I still have vibration from 45 - 60mph. I have parts for center bearing and bushing and motor mounts. I'm wondering if I should just replace them all and see what happens.

The other side is that, rather than just throw parts at it, i'd like to solve the problem. Can a shop re-balance the driveshaft?

Thanks for your replies.
