Vibration at high speed 1993 Chevrolet Corvette

Topic starter

I have a 1993 Chevrolet Corvette, base model, ZF 6 speed, coupe.

I've wanted one of these since I was a kid, and finally bought one used with around 90k miles on the clock.

Since I've bought it it has had a pretty severe vibration, through the whole vehicle not just the steering wheel, at around 78-85 mph.

Additionally there is sometime a clink when i first go to take off in 1st gear from a stand still.

My initial thought was U-Joints, so I replaced the two on the prop shaft, as well as the two on each rear half shaft.

After finally getting it buttoned up with new U-Joints, both the vibration at higher speed, and the clink, remain.

Any advice as to what the issue may be?

Thanks for the help,

Hunter

If your U-joints are OK, check your tire balancing.  This usually causes vibration at high speed.  You probably threw a balance weight.

It may be the prop shaft out of balance. Yes, that's a thing. What I would do is put it on a lift or jackstands. Run the engine/trans up to speed and you should get a better idea of where it is coming from, and you can check for where the clink is coming from.
