Like I said about 80% of the reman driveshafts we have installed (at the customers request) have had a vibration and I've had 2 dealer shafts that were bad right out of the box! Also make SURE the thick spacer washers for the center support bearing are between the bearing support and the body. I've seen this mistake too.

The vibration is a fast vibration starting at 40 and disappearing at about 70
Steve T, before I replace the driveshaft , is there any chance it could be the transmission? The synchros have seen better days and gear selection (especially reverse) is an art!

The only -fix- is a new driveshaft from nissan. Almost every "repaired" driveshaft we've tried vibrated as bad or worse than they did before the repairs. These cars are ULTRA sensitive to a less than perfect driveshaft, I've even had new from nissan ones that weren't smooth and had to be re-replaced before the vibration was gone.

Hi This is my first post.... I recently purchased a 1992 300zx TT. Great car but for the vibration at 40+ mph. The vibration is felt through the seat rather than the steering wheel and is at its worst from cold.
I've replaced the propshaft centre bearing and had the universal joints repaired. The prop has been balanced and the gerbox mount replaced.
It still vibrates, I've tried different wheels, no joy. I'm going to try 4 wheel alignment next but , assuming this doesn't work
does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
