Found Vibration

Well, After doing some hard launches I noticed my vibration got worse and worse.... So I crawled under the car... and noticed right away the rear u joint in the fornt prop shaft was snapped in half and wedged off to the side holding it together.... Is there a stronger U-Joint I can use to prolong this happening again? The part store carries a Brute Force deal.... it is supposed to be stronger...

remove and reinstall a gilbert. $375. its much better than putting another stock joint in there and waiting for something else to break.

Re: Found Vibration

Especially since next time it breaks, it might not wedge itself together. Might just become 2 pieces and try to destroy the engine, transmission, transfer case, floor, your feet, etc. A piece of steel that big flailing around under the floor (which is about 1/16" thick) isn't exactly a safe situation.
