    Arrow VIBRATION !,Any ideas?

    So here's the deal,
    I had an acci. this winter, tangled with a tree & crunched r/r 1/4 panel...it also snapped the weld on the bar from the frame to the axle housing moving the right side of the axle back far enough to pull the drive shaft out of the splines.All the bodywork etc. came out perfect but...after replacing the axle,axle housing,suspension links & entire driveshaft,there is still a vibration.
    I replaced all 4 tires & the rim is straight & they all balanced up fine. After replacing the axle housing, the alignment came out spot on.Between my bodyshop guy, mechanic & myself, were running out of ideas.
    Anyone have any ideas...even longshots, on what could be causing this?
    Any & all help is greatly appreciated.
    TIA, Ldub

    Was the TOD Box checked while you were doing all this? And was everything put back to original specs?

    John,
    Not sure what you mean by orig. specs. I don't have a lift or anything aftermarket going on w/ the suspension,so stock alignment values were used.
    The TOD/ transfer case is probably the next logical place to look. Unfortunately, the nearest dealership is either Bismarck or Minneapolis...both 200 +/- miles from Fgo.
    Thx for the input, Ldub

    OK,that rules out the modification angle...so that's all factory.
    Next step would be to check any mis-alignment to the TOD transfer case and alignment if the shafts to that case. Just my two cents.
    I know it's a pain(and sometimes frustrating and costly) to head for the ZuZoo dealership, hopefully you have an honest dealer there in the area. If not try a 4 wheel drive shop/mechanic.

    Thanks for the input John, monday it goes in to get the drive coming off the trans. ckd. w/ a dial gauge. I guess all we can do is start at the back & work fwd. I'm fortunate that my ins. co. OK'd all this extra work...so far.

    Good luck Monday!
    Don't forget to have them dial in the Drive shaft tubes as well.
