So a little back story , I have a 2010 ss m6 . I was one of the unfortunate and had the drive shaft bolts shear . I took the car to the dealer and they replaced the drive shaft .when I picked the car up I still had a vibration ,I took it back to the dealer and I told them it feels like the drive shaft is not balanced .they are now telling me that there are 8 different settings on the drive shaft and that's how it's balanced ? I have never heard of this can anyone help me out

ill help but not sure what they would mean by 8 different settings, some of the cars have been known to have harmonic frequency issues and indexing the shaft would fix that.

after talking to the service manager ,that is exactly what they did .. they indexed the shaft so i took the car home and exactly the same thing .. 2ND gear and up if i accelerate hard it feels like the rearend is gonna come apart ???
