Same with me, the vibration has been there (and been the same) with swapping 3 different sets of wheels and tires.

No DS today.My guess is that the weather is causing the delay.It's probably a good thing.I don't need to be on the ground in the snow swapping the drive shaft out..............On second thought,yes I do.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

They closed school here for Friday and didn;'t need to.I think the school faculty wanted a day off more than anything.

Wish me luck guys,I hope the DS is here tomorrow.It may not be necessary,but I am really excited.I always wanted an aluminum DS for the car,but had seen one for sale and it was really expensive.I had never thought of going the route I did until recently.I'm glad I did.

Got up to 37* here today, and bright sun:flip:

I was running a chainsaw most of the afternoon...lol

We had the snow and crud a coupla weeks...I'm done with it.

V-man, I've felt your pain...I've had to change my oil in snow, heat, wind, rain, you name it....never again. I don't care if I have lay on a piece of cardboard on a cat piss-reeking dirt floor in  December, still beats laying snow to work on a vehicle. This ain't a jab at people who can't afford or don't have a shed/building/etc...just sayin'. :hick:

Well,I got home and there was a surprise on the porch.My drive shaft was here.I didn't have time to install it,but first thing after work tomorrow,it'll be on the Sport,and an update will be given.

A reminder to everyone....when you start a thread,give the final results of the problem.Too many ask questions,then there are 5 pages of answers and more questions on the thread,then,nothing.We need a beginning,middle,and an end.
