Half Shaft Balance?
Put a new suspension in the rear of the '76, but forgot to mark the driveshaft when I pulled it. The car is up on jack stands, and when I ran it in gear it vibrated crazy like at about 2000 rpm. So, if I just rotate the drive shaft 180 degrees it should cure it right? Also, I put new half shafts in-are they balanced as well? Thanx

If you're trying to drive with the rear tires up in the air on jackstands, you're going to get vibration. The suspension is hanging down, and the halfshaft U-joints are turning at severe angles. Get the car back on the ground and take it for a drive to see if there is still a vibration.
