hello i got an 87 HB, and i just took it out for a spin and it vibrates when i give it a shot of gas or when i go over like 80 or so. there is broken leaf in the back that my buddy welded up for me until my new ones get bent up. other than that i dont know what could be the problem... it also vibrates in 1st gear and then a little in 2nd, the guy had the transmission rebuild in 04 and the engine in 02if anyone has had this problem or has any suggestions that would be geat

where are you feeling the vibe....seat of the pants? Steering wheel?

I'd say tire balance, but that wouldn't explain the low speed vibration.

its everywhere lol, i think its steady bearing for the drive-shaft. at least i hope it is, cuz i have the one i got for my 89 240sx that i never installed. and amazingly they are the same part for both.
