I have an 88 toyota 2wd pickup long box with a 2 piece drive shaft. I got the rear and mid/intermediate ujoints replaced by a garage. Since then, I get a vibration from the rear end especially between 55 and 60 km per hour whether I accelerate and with my foot off the gas. We balanced the tires but I still get the vibration.
I know the garage marked the connection where the rear axle and front (it is actually called intermediate axle) meet, but not sure if they marked where the rear part of the axle meets with the rear differential (remember it is a
2-piece shaft). Anyway, I took a look at the length of the 2 piece shaft and the rear part of the 2-piece shaft is not in line with the front part. It goes off to an angle from the midpoint join as it connects to the rear differential.I know it matters that the rear and front/intermediate diff meet in the middle the same way they were disconnected, not sure if it matters if the rear diff joins in the same position with the rear axle. Anyway, is it possible the garage connected the rear axle to the rear diff in an incorrect manner causing (different than how it was originally connected) it to be on an angle or different angle than originally and thus putting a strain on the ujoints, hence vibration. Or am I way off here.
