is it the road that you are driving on?? *L* i was thinkin the same thing when driving my dads pt cruiser cause it would always ahve a little vibration at a certain place, it is just the road is weird there. </P>


i dont think that it is something out of balance because it would vibrate even more when you speed up.</P>

Make sure your driveshaft bolts are all tight where it meets the rear.

An easy way to see if you have thrown any weights is to get under your car and look at the driveshaft. You will be able to see if the weight is gone off the driveshaft. The cheap way to fix it is with hose clamps with the adjuster on the place for the weight. While you are under there check for any missing weights on your wheels and looseness in the drivetrain. Just start exploring all the moving parts down there and you will find it.

so your saying at around 35 mph in 3'd and 4th gear? what gears do you have in it right now? sounds like to me that you should be in second gear at 35 or so or it would be lugging... im not sure though

You got a good point. That didn't occur to me.</P>


Try being in second when accelerating, and report back.</P>
