Yes i agree i believe its a shock problem, or shock bushing prob. Its a very fast vibration compared to your tire speed. "Axle wrap" is usualy proportional to tire speed. Usualy.....
Let us know if you find out what was causing it please!!!

I wish we could get enough snow this year i could go play in the snow!!!
We got a couple inches today, but it'll be gone by tomorow.

So I got rid of the old steering linkage and upgraded to the 3/4 heim joints and 1&1/4 tubing. A lot stronger!!! :)
I still have to upgrade my track bar tho.
Here are some pictures!! You can compare my old linkage to the new stuff based on the original track bar!!







compare those with this!!!!!

Your axle looks funny to me. Did you narrow it? It looks narrow but not as narrow as the one I am building (6" more narrow than before).

Steering looks good :icon_thumby:

um no specific reason. Someone told me narrowing it 6" would make it the same width as the dana 35 and I wanted it a little wider. Did you send your axle shaft to dutchmen?

In essence yes. I bought one from a guy who sent them his stocker then sold it to me. So no it is basically an EB 5-760x U-joint passeger shaft.

Your wheels look tall and narrow, just like I like em, what size is your tire/wheel combo?
