After lifting my X, there is a big vibration at about 30mph it only lasts for a few seconds. It's independent of engine speed, as it happens in any gear at 30 mph. I think it's the driveshaft. At the front, where it enters the tranny, there is about an inch (maybe a bit more) of shiny metal thet used to be inside the tranny. Now it's exposed. Could this be the problem, that there is too much play between them?
Now, where can I get an aluminum driveshaft from? Ford Racing has one for the Mustang. If it's the right length, could I use this? Also, how is the driveshaft measured? The Ford Racing one is 45.5" long. Do they make custom lengths? Also, I read in another post about the Ranger having an aluminum driveshaft available. As they X and Ranger are similar, would this oone work?
