Dan,
I had a vibration in my BJ8 for 25+ years and did several things to address it.
Not much difference. Then there was a discussion a few years back about out
of round and out of balance brake drums. I borowed my mechanics old bubble
balancer and some weights. Sure enough! Both were definitely not balanced. I
proceeded to balance them by welding some 1/4 rod on the perimeter and then
grinding to get the best balance I could. ( It took 1-2 ounces on each one.)
NO MORE SHAKE! And I have run it up to 90 or so! Worked out so well I did
likewise to the drums on my BN7 and it is much smoother as well.
I would suggest you at least verify that yours are balanced before you go
tearing into the diff or tranny.
