ive got an AU 1 xr6 that has developed a funny vibration at around 120ks and im not sure whats causing it. Theres nothing below that speed and it gets worse after i back off the power I had the rear wheels balanced but that hasnt done anything. the baffles in the exauhst are shagged to and im wondering if thats got anything to do with it. i just want to know where to start before i start spending money on it at a work shop only to find out it is only a simple fix any help is appreciated

might not be your problem but just check tail shaft bolts mine were loose and i had the vibration and it got worse over the trip home to the point i was crawling home at 40km(back streets) and tail shaft dropped out lol

it may even be your uni joint or joints just get under the car, grab the shaft and c if you can turn it. then push up on it. there should b a little bit of play but not to much. when my uni was shot I could come down a hill slowly with the clutch in and could hear that there was something wrong. it turned out 3 of the 4 roller barrings weren't there. any ways man good luck.

ill have a look but wouldnt it vibrate at a lower speed if it was loose bolts or worn uni's any chance the shaft could be out of balance

sorry just red your first post proply have a look at your trailing arm bushes on the diff to see if there worn my car did the exact same thing and it was that good luck if it is id recomend to go to pedders and get new arms they cost bout 110 each for the uppers and im not sure bout the lowers the nolothane ones are s**t plus they only make arms that fit stock falcons not xr6s
