Some success, the steering rack was bad and has been replaced, the rest of the front end is tight and checked out fine. The "hopping" is gone. Vibration on the highway is down substanially and the car tracks well now. However, there still is some vibration, particularly when accelerating, that I can feel "through the seat" and the gas pedal- not so much through the steering wheel. The drive shaft has been replaced already. Anyone have any other thoughts? It would be nice to get the car vibration free.

: Have you tried swapping the wheels front

: Also is there ANY change in the engine
: "smoothness" in that RPM
: range with no load ie neutral?
: If the gear lever is not shaking, and

: "drone" from the rear of the

: Hi Glen- It's a vibration I can feel

: stable. It is worse when accelerating
: at the wrong RPMs as mentioned.

: Steering wheel shake?
: Scuttle (dash & cowl) shake?

: Thanks to all who commented previously.
: I replaced the drive shaft in my gt6.
: Tires are balanced, new shocks,
: trunnions greased, new bearings.
: Vibration is better but still exists in
: 3rd and 4th gear at 2800 to 3300 RPMs.
: Seems to eminate from the right front
: and is worse when accelerating. May be
: connected but have an issue of the
: front end "hopping" on hard
: right turns at slow speeds when
: accelerating.
