I broke my car. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I was out driving and I got on it and grabed second and the whole car starts to vibrate.:( as soon as I get up to 35-40mph she starts to vibrate or if I give her some gas at any speed she starts to vibrate. I'm thinking it's the drive shaft. What do you guys think.

Could be end links or lower control arm problems. I've seen pictures of the carnage on this site.

Look closely at the drive shaft bolts... Front and rear, when my car was in the shop for my build, they found one bolt quite loose and the others no where near fully torqued...

Found it. Snaped I bolt on the yoke to the rear end bent the other two.

there ain't no such thing as too much power - only components who can't handle the truth!

I don't see any drive line upgrades in your sig but i do see 618RWHP. If you are running stock back there it's time to consider some upgrades to prevent this and help put that power to the ground even better.
