<p>We have been discussing rear driveshaft vibration as long as this site (and the site prior and the site prior) has been up and again received another testimonial where someone installed a VG tight used rear driveshaft and now the vibration is gone. I have received dozens of horror stories regarding attempted expensive rebuilds where someone turned to a good used tight rear driveshaft section to finally solve the problem. I believe we have had a few rebuild success stories (search the site)…</p>
<p>We have been discussing rear driveshaft vibration as long as this site (and the site prior and the site prior) has been up and again received another testimonial where someone installed a VG tight used rear driveshaft and now the vibration is gone. I have received dozens of horror stories regarding attempted expensive rebuilds where someone turned to a good used tight rear driveshaft section to finally solve the problem. I believe we have had a few rebuild success stories (search the site) but they are few and far between. <br/><br/>I have received the response below time and time again over the years and thought I would share this one as it is short and to the point. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing this but Dirk, from Belgium just sent me this email:<br/><strong>"Recently, we put the driveshaft in the car and marvelous.</strong><br/><strong>All vibrations are gone. </strong><br/><strong>He drives like a new one.</strong><br/><strong>Thanks.</strong><br/><strong>Regards,</strong> <br/><strong>Dirk"</strong></p> Rear axle leak.

<p>Ok. Out today, rear brakes got very hot, again. 1st time in aweek. Almost like they are resetting back. Anyway decided to fix the axle leak . </p>
<p>Well, took off hub, and undid bolts behind brake assembly, didnt even need axle puller, a good hard yank, it cam out. First thing i noticed ,there was a torn gasket looking piece that seems to sit behind the brakes shoe assembly and goes between the brake shoe assembly and the hub that the assebly attaches to. It was damged.</p>

<p>I got the axle part out, bearing seemed smooth turning. O ring was intact but scuffed. </p>
<p>Pictures attached of parts w notes.</p>
<p></p>
<p>So. According to u tube, this type assembly requires the bearing and seal be cut off w grinder. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Is that correct, or do i need to rent a specific tool for this.</p>
<p>Secondly, i dnt remeber seeing that gasket that fits behind the brake shoe assembly, only one i see in book is the paper one. Is there another one and what would it be called? </p>
<p>Any help here forward would be appreciated imensely </p> More Cadillac Bumper Blingtag:6364cadillac.ning.com,2017-06-28:6543066:Topic:1520402017-06-28T23:45:17.164ZJason Edgehttps://6364cadillac.ning.com/profile/jasonedge
