My latest update is a little more detailed.

I think I am getting close to resolving this or taking it to a driveline shop near me.

I'm curious what people have for ride height (top of fender well to ground) for the front and rear.

The car as it sits right now has a rear height of 25.25 and front height of 25.75 inches - this is with brand new 185/65-15 tires.

Front struts have 224k miles on it (it rolled over 224000 last night) and have the stiffness of a bowl of oatmeal. Rear shocks are KYB Gas-A-Justs with maybe 40k miles on them.

There is only vibration at 20-25 and around 45mph. It is definitely up and down and feels like it is coming from the center of the driveshaft.

I shimmed the center support bearing down with 3x washers per bolt last night and it did not seem to make any difference.


Can anyone else tell me their ride heights for their cars? I have new struts, but I hesitate to put them into this car with it currently undrivable.
