pinion angle is more often load based though - are you hammering it pretty good when you get the vibration?
On mine, it's just cruising down the road or hammering it as I go through certain speed ranges
I get the vibration when NOT under load. Load reduces it, actually. It's most notable when cruising under 60mph, or coming off the freeway & coasting. Stomping on the gas & getting it to downshift will almost eliminate it when it starts happening. I assume this is because when it is under load, the gears are trying to climb each other & raises the pinion angle to where it should be.
Anyways, I dropped the rear end and am going to get the springs re-arched by a local shop. While I'm at it, having my buddy reset the spring seats for more a couple more degrees of angle, and going to have some 4:11's installed.
