Default Vibration @ 30-40 then again @ 65-75 mph...

Im thinking its the front drive shaft 180 out... it has been rebuilt by the previous owner. I dont know if a shop repaired it or the actual owner. I plan or taking it out, and rotating it. Any thoughts???????

Have your tires checked for balance. Check the tires for irregularities while on the balancer. Could be a slipped belt on one or more tires. I would do this before pulling the shaft.

I wouldnt think it was tires as I just had some new ones put on and watched as they were balanced.. they all zeroed out. Idk man...... still think its the shaft.

If you don't know the service history of it, rebuild it.

Assuming you know it has a good service history, don't fool with taking it apart to rotate a flange yoke or the CV yoke 180. There too many permutations to be worth your time, only one of which is the original. Just have it balanced.
