No more 4.10 IRS vibe.

[Yellow Horse]

I made a set of bushings for my differential out of UHMW and installed them Saturday. I have no vibe up to 120 mph and that was without the vibe dampener installed. If anyone is interested, I have a CAD drawing of the bushings that you can get made at a local machine shop. Total machine time is less than one hour.

Glad to hear you got that taken care of. Sounds a little cheaper than a new Aluminum Drive shaft.;-)

Please forgive me but WTF is UHMW.

Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene.

It is a very durable plastic. It's a non corrosive and self lubricating plastic.

If you have access to a lathe and know how to operate it, those bushing are very easy to make.

Dang pimpin, you know your plastics. I made a set in less than an hour. I couldn't believe it worked. When I drove my Cobra before the bushings, as I crossed 80 mph, I would hear and feel the rump, rump, rump sound. It was a great feeling to cross 80 mph then 90 and on up till I ran out of road here in NC. For a Florida boy, there aint know flat land in western NC. It's hard to find a straight piece of road more than 100 yards.

Thanks for the help Tim.

North Florida Snake, where do you live. I lived in Cottondale north of Panama City. Do you know where that is?

pimpinSaleen,
You've got mail!

Yellow Horse,

Sorry don't know where Cottondale is. I have been here in Jax for 20 years and Tally is as far west that I have been.

Work keeps me busy.
