[QUOTE="Todd Thorne, post: 1021320, member: 67323"] Has any one had any luck rebalancing their drive shaft? The truck picks up a shimmy at around 65 or 70 mph, it tends to come and go as I drive on the highway and it feel likes it is from the rear end. Tires have been rotated and spare put on and same shimmy at same speed. I have just replaced the U joints on the driveshaft, I started to have a really bad vibration at around 40mph that did not go away, u joints solved that problem. Shimmy was there before u joint went bad as well. I know there was a tsb about the driveshafts, being replaced with aluminum shafts, but that sounds expensive. Rebalance is $180, I was just wondering if any one has tried that and what results where. Thanks for any info. [/QUOTE]
