I spent today tightening the wheel bearings, checking the steering and replacing the front prop shaft UJs in an effort to eliminate a front end transmission vibration that starts at 68mph. This was present before I replace the CV joints, but has been slowly worsening. It’s much better now, but not quite gone. I have […]
