    Driveshaft vibration
    « on: December 18, 2008 - 07:30:22 PM »
    Got this in a forward from my sister:

    Quote
    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 more miles decently with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the driveshaft.

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

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

    I'm just wondering how they figure out flat rate for this one at the dealership?  I guess if your going to do it you may as well make it count! :roflsmiley:
