Follow up to my half-shaft debate...
for those of you wondering...i had to change a half-shaft on weds this week for it was damaged and totally blocked off the u-joint...so I bought one out of NY from Not Just Vettes....he sent me a 1996 shaft...and it did look slightly different...the welds were thicker...and my brother swears it weighed slightly more....but it was installed anyway.....
well...i took it for a test drive....and I don't know...I think it was more psychological then anything....at first I thought i felt a vibration at like 70 or so...then brought it up to 100 and then over.....the vibrations came and went....keep in my I have been driving my -smooth as can be- sunbird...and the vettes suspension is a lot more stiff, especially in the winter time when it is cold.....
so I took it out again last night...and I think I am fine.....only thing I need to do now is in the spring...the brake upgrade package...(18carfan please don't go anywhere, lol)....and my exhaust....and most importantly my torque converter......
