Driveline Vibration Issue



This guy ran over a mattress and decided to keep going. The ensuing jumble finally whipped around enough to put a tear in the gas tank, the subsequent lack of fuel is what finally brought this vehicle to its knees.



It had still managed to drive 30 more miles decently with a 60lb tangle wrapped around the driveshaft.



This genius complained that the vehicle had a "shimmy" when driving at high speeds.



This is what the dealership found.............
