    I'm thinking that's exactly the issue Chris. The vibrations were there before - but ancient OEM motor and trans mounts didn't transfer the feeling into the car. Once I went solid mounts - all those vibrations come to light.

        I have zero intentions of dropping the subframe again soon unless something breaks and I need to remove it.

          I decided last weekend I will be going with air next winter, roads are just too crappy to be low static.

          Wheel bearing time - and giubo/CSB time!

                    Your subframe is lowered and your diff is lowered quite a bit. That is bad news bears for your U joints and driveline angle. 
                    Even the lowered subframe is not great
                    It's not a CV joint so it will throw some serious vibes if it is outside of its allowable range. 
                    I still have the back half of a good shaft if you need it.

                      I think the current plan is to swap the CSB and Giubo onto the original driveshaft - and bring it in to be balanced. If it balances out good it'll go back in... If not - I'll have to address then.

                        If your U joints are shot you will still get some clunking back there, the joints shouldn't have any play.

                          No play and there shouldn't be a lot 'sticky' spots when you move the joint around.

                            Once removed - I couldn't find any "slop" in the u-joint at all. Moved freely and didn't have sticky spots.

                                Didn't get as much done this morning as I had hoped - but overall got stuff done! New rear bearings are in, rear axles are in - gonna eat some lunch then reassemble rear brakes and move to radiator swap I think.

                                          YOU SEE NOTHING!!!

                                          Not sure I'll be using that - might have a slight change of plans in mind for the intake manifold.... We'll see how the summer pans out.
