1986 vibration
I"ve got an 86 coupe that has a bad vibration, starting around 45-50 mph, on to about 60-65 mph It seems to get less noticeable at faster speeds. This car has over 100,00 miles, and to my knowledge the driveshaft has the original U-joints. I just put new tires on it, and there is no difference. Any ideas? It really takes the fu n out of driving it on the highway. TKS

You'll need to be able to get under your car with a good light. Start at the front of the drive shaft and work your way back to each rear wheel.
Pull, push,prod, rattle & shake everything and check all mounting bolts are present and tight. Also check your rear tie rod ends for wear or slop.
A broken engine mount can also do this.
Somewhere you will find a problem and sooner rather than latter. Eventually something will break if you don't.
