Need help diagnosing driveline vibes , location is Hoopeston, IL. 60942 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Hey, wouldn't normally post this here, but I've got a friend that is having issues with his Jeep Rubicon. Since I have met some of you guys I hoped that someone here would either be close to this guy or point me to a reliable source to help him. His Jeep is a newer Rubicon Edition with a 4" Rock Krawler long arm kit. He has vibes he can't seem to get rid of...

He had his rear driveshaft rebuilt by Tom Wood recently and without the rear shaft in he gets no vibes, put the rear shaft in there are vibes.

Any help or direction to reliable help would be appreciated.

Was it vibrating prior to getting the driveshaft rebuilt? Was anthing else done to the Jeep? Does it do it under acceleration, coasting or both?

Did he check his pinion angle?
