Unhappy Drive shaft problems

when i went to the dealer workshop they told me that the driveshaft is dameged and the alighnment numbers showed 1.47 degrees off (btw, they told me the acceptable number is 0-0.45 degrees) and they told me u should change the driveshaft..

you need to be more specific on what was off....camber? caster?

Unfortunately there is no real good way to repair the driveshaft. Your best bet is to change it out, but its a worthwhile fix/upgrade.

What exactly is wrong with the driveshaft? Are you sure its the driveshaft? There are a lot of things that can cause vibes.

What lift are you running? I see that you have 32s, might not be the driveshaft.
