In re-reading my post, I realized that I didn't take into account the
vibration is felt in the steering wheel. Definitrly somethng in the fornt
end.
With my bad driveshaft u-joint, I could feel the vibes more in my butt
than in the steering wheel.
The driveshaft was fine when I left Watkins Glen
last fall, and I parked the car in the garage for the winter. When I took it
out for a drive before a road trip to NC, I noticed the vibe. It's wear
related, and the driveshaft is not bent.
