Hi,
When trying to sort out a vibration that "might" be related to tires/wheels=
, it is a really easy step to work with another TR owner to swap on the tir=
es / wheels to see if the problem follows the tires / wheels. My tires and =
wheels have been on a number of cars up here in the northeast! That said, i=
f you feel a vibration in your seat and not through the steering wheel, it'=
s drive line. Period. My Dad's TR6 had similar vibrations and they were cur=
ed when I switched in new axles. Note that there are options with axle repl=
acement and there are stock-like axles available for less than $150 from th=
e big three, or at least there were. I also got rid of several different re=
ar end clunks at the same time.If money is no object - the alternatives suc=
h as the GoodParts CV conversion are an excellent choice and you'll probabl=
y NEVER have to worry about them ever.Regards,Bob LangTR6s=20

Hi Sloane,=20
I sympathize with you. I've been going through the exact same thing since =
I rebuilt my TR6 10 years ago. When it first started happening, right aroun=
d 50mph, I could feel it slightly in my seat. All the universal joints, all=
the suspension parts and links were new from my frame off. I rotated the b=
rand new tires and rebalanced which didn't seem to help. I bought replaceme=
nt steel wheels, dial indicated them and and remounted the tires on the bes=
t I had with no change. I purchased some Minilites, no change (but I wanted=
to get those anyway and the car looks cool). I replaced the rear hubs with=
Goodpart hubs. A slight change in the seat vibration but still there. Afte=
r a couple more years, the vibration got steadily worse and the front end s=
tarted vibrating quite noticeably at 50. I ended up removing the front whee=
l hubs and truing them up in my lathe. No change. I've now replaced just ab=
out everything and was at the end of the line until I mentioned it to a fri=
end of mine with a Six a few states away who I see occasionally at TR event=
s. He had the same problem and went through similar trials and tribulations=
until he rebuilt the steering rack. That cured it for his case. Thats now=
on my list for the winter months as a last resort to try.=20
=20
I'm not saying this is your problem but it might be something to consider.=
Have any other 6pack members experienced anything similar with their steer=
ing racks?
