Sorry it has been a while. I took off the front drive shaft and looked like it was a bad u joint that had bound up so it felt tight until it was off. It sat for week or so then I cleaned it up and really looked at it. Turns out it doesn’t matter what shape the inside is in when it is being held...

Old hardened grease is an understatement. As I am going to take them off anyway cleaning and greasing sounds worthwhile no matter what.

No lift. The vibration does seem to increase some speed however I’ve not taken it over 40 due to the vibration. If I am driving slowly up a steep incline the vibration is pretty bad so in that sense it doesn’t necessarily increase with speed it increases with torque or load. I agree about...

I did check the u-joints for play but not for binding. It seems worth a shot. Sounds like next weekend is going to be under rather than in Elwood. My wife named it and it is better than what I have called it lately. By the way this problem did not suddenly appear. There was probably a month...

Head gasket? Motor mounts look fine. The transmission mounts look fine. It passed the test I found for a viscous coupler although shuddering or serious vibration was not listed as a symptom and it does not have the tightness when that goes bad but why not check. So I did. U joints were the first...

96’ LC is shuddering to the point of not driving it. It is worse under load and the one place you don’t feel it is in the steering wheel. I have more or less narrowed it down to the differential dynamic dampener (or fill in what you call it). I read that some people simply remove it?? Why would...
