I was testing my axle flange runout today to troubleshoot a vibration. My measurements are posted here and I'd like feedback in that thread on whether the axles are OK or not. But I created a new thread here because I noticed something unrelated to the vibration: with the transmission in...

What would cause a mild vibration at relatively low speeds? I recently replaced my stock 7 1/4 rear with an 8 1/4 sure-grip and I installed the driveshaft from the 8 1/4 donor car because it was the right length already. Since then I notice a mild vibration starting at about 25 mph. It...

I replaced my 7.25" rear end with an 8.25" sure-grip from a salvage yard car, and now I have a shudder at very low speed when turning slightly. It seems to go away at higher speeds or in a full turn. Also, it seems to go away after driving a few miles but comes back next time I start out...

I'm about to do my first rear end swap and I'm looking for general advice about how to do it--what order to do things, how to hold up the new rear during the process, etc etc. I found a really helpful thread here, but I want all the tips I can get. I'll be replacing the leaf springs at the...

I got a new 8.25" rear end from a junk yard so I can switch to LBP. On top of the differential housing (pumpkin) there's a bracket with a slot where a bump stop would go, but the bump stop is missing. Any idea where I can find one? What is it called? Or can I use the existing one on my 7.25"...
