Vibration from hell comes about over 100km/hr.Move wheels blah blah as said in prev. Post, move weights around and wind car up to 140km/hr on hoist (coz crazy carnt on a mission) until vibration is gone.Wouldn't recommend this method to most ppl lolAnyway I'm happy it's all fixed.Would have been going in circles IMO if I had of sent the tailshaft away to be rebalanced, refit oh sh*t it's still there etc etcHere's some more pics of how I set it up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have a tailshaft for the box.I've learnt that ford are fuq tards and made a bunch of different tail shafts.They even have the dif bush bolt in different places in the b series.Trent has a complete rear cradle with t/s n box providing those bolt holes are in the right spot for the t/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
