Default Just got the car running an theres a vibration...

Hey, I just started the car up for the first time in a bout 8 months, took it around the block an when it seems like i go about 20-25 an let off the throttle theres a vibration, could be from the driveshaft.. There wasnt any noise last time i drove it last year. I need help trying to figure this out,

thanks chris

maybe you got a flat spot in your bearings from sitting so long, or from yoru tires could be out of balance. but why you suspect driveshaft? maybe your ujoints are shot?? or rear diff.

think i found it, I forgot when i pulled the driveshaft to redo the motor seals there were some bushings makeing the ds level. I talked to a drivetrain place today an they told me with the rubber style bushing that hold the driveshaft in place if they are just a little out of whack they vibrate roughly like whats happening now.. Im going to try tomorrow an find those darn spacers, must be somewere in my garage
