Driveline Vibration Issue - Possible Root Cause

CQQL_SSR · 01-19-2009, 05:05 PM

This guy ran over a mattress and decided to keep going.

The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank, the subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its knees.

It had still managed to drive 30 miles decently with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the driveshaft.

This genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving it high speeds.

This is what the dealership found..............

Looks like our BeautyRest Saratoga. Fell off of our R when bringing it home. I've been looking on a Milk Carton everyday trying to locate it.

I've sat on broken Springs and that ain't funny. I was thinking with all those Springs wraped around that Drive Shaft. Why not just install a Wind-Up Key!

No I would go but I have a few Cancer Treatments coming up. Can't go !

I would love to drive over just for the Day tho. These Treatments make you Black and Blue. Most people think you got beat up with a Base Ball Bat.
