Default Setting up gears

I had gears put in 3yrs ago, i had a vibration at about 75mph and then i got new rims and tires. It kinda went away, but still noticable when i look in my side mirror it vibrates.I was wondering if the pinion nut wasnt torqued down would it cause a vibration?

Yea if the crush sleeve is not crushed all the way that would def. cause vibration.

You can try to tighten it up to see if it helps. You will need a breaker bar or a good impact wrench. You cant crush the sleeve with just a ratchet or wrench.
