Default how to diagnose a slite vibration?

i am also posting on the turbo forum for my C4S because i thought you guys would have more info on the 4x4 systems. i hope you dont mind.

my car has a slight vibration at certain speeds and i want to see if it is the driveline.

can you tell me if i can unhook the shaft from the front @ diff and the rear @ the gear box.

then drive the car to see if it fixed the problem?

i have searched with out much luck

thanks

I remember people describing how to disconnect the shaft in the archives...

But are you sure that it's not a tire/wheel issue first?

I would tend to agree with Jeff that it is a tire/wheel issue since you are experiencing a slight vibration at certain speeds. Is it always at the same speed? I just replaced my front tires which were flat spotted (out of round) Pzeros which was causing vibration between 50-60mph. No such problems with the Pilot SC.
