Theres a bit of stuff about this on the net. Alot of cars suffer this when you lower but I cant understand why some are worse than others.←Why would lowering an IRS cars back end cause a change in pinion/driveshaft/gearbox angle? The diff doesnt move.... Doc's car is a sedan not a ute... ← the axle drive shafts do change but not the pinions ect Edited 26/05/06 02:43 PM by Xtreme F6

It has a mind of its own this car. Good to be running smooth though. Definately WAS the spring height

Variants of 1degree are said to be enough to cause the vibration. Shims are produced to align the problem.Adrian its in your manual under Section 205-01 Driveshaft.We could check it out ourselves if we had the required inclinometer.

BOTH Q FORD AND C N J MOTORSPORT SUGGESTED THE LOWERED SUSPENSION WAS THE CAUSE. MAYBE IT IS THE DIFFERENT ANGLE OF THE TAILSHAFT OR SIMPLY THE REAR SPRINGS. I'M GOING TO CHANGE THE SPRINGS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. IT SEEMS LIKE THE CHEAPEST OPTION
