[QUOTE="OldZeuski, post: 1581456, member: 31288"] I appreciate the input. I guess I need to mention everything that's been done on this thread. I've been asking a lot of questions and mentioning bits and pieces on multiple threads. Specific to what you've mentioned. I've replaced the entire rear suspension: control arms, springs, shocks, axles, bearings and all differential bearings. I've also replaced the driveshaft with an aluminum one and new U joints (balanced at a shop). And I have new wheels and tires balanced as well. The trans was rebuilt a few weeks ago with everything but the gears and shafts. My pinion angle is now within 1* of the trans after I installed and adjusted new lower control arms. But still, the vibration exists and gets terrible around 100 mph. Before my adjustable LCA's I was at 3.5* difference between the trans and pinion. I thought surely that was my problem but it did not improve anything. I don't feel anything in the steering wheel and only marginally in the seat. But this vibration is intense the higher I go above 80. I have an arduino and an accelerometer that I'm going to try and rig up to either shifter or the axle housing and see if I can data log the exact frequency of the vibration. I know there are frequencies that correlate with different pieces of the drive train. I'm still convinced this is an alignment/angle issue because literally everything is new and tight. [/QUOTE]
