Driveshaft Vibrates

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Road test the vehicle to determine the critical vibration points. Note the road speed, the engine RPM, and the shift lever positions at which the vibration occurs.
  2. Stop the vehicle, place the transmission lever in neutral and run the engine through the critical speed ranges determined in Step  1.
  3. If no vibration is felt, balance the driveshaft. For additional information, refer to DRIVELINE VIBRATION .
