Default Vibration from the rear 8



I now have a vibration coming from the rear of my car. U joints are fine and tires are balanced. I'm concerned it's the diff. No real strange noise to mention, just the vibration. It seems(not sure yet, just started yesterday. The weatheris getting colder)to get better as the car warms up. Any suggestions? Please tell me it's not big bucks.<IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0"></P>


PS sorry. New to this. Didn't want the poll.</P>

lol and if your posi needs rebuilttheres some big bucks in that. Bi would check for a bent rim, inflation of the tire, and check your rea tires for any buldges or anything. Also you could ust have alot of power and your car shakes a little.

Well if its JUST after warming up I would assume its a moving part subject to friction. If it is just a revolving part like a tire or rim I would think that it would not matter if hot or cold, just the speed of the revolutions.
