Default Vibrating

Hey,
Finally got around to lowering the car the other day... Big thanks to Sunny and Doug for all their help...
Anyways when driving the car, and above or around 85km the car starts vibrating, you can feel it throughout the whole car.. its freaky as... e. It happens in 3rd and gets worse when you go over a bump.
Im guessing something is rubbing maybe???
Does anyone know what this could be, or has anyone experienced such a problem??

Cheers
Tiga_EL

well pending what the problem is, could be if the tailshaft drops out, but seriously i dont know what it is really, but i have heard of it before on super lows.

2 new uni's fitted should be about $100

Sorry it's off topic but I saw a tiger orange EL Fairmont the other week. Looks like you've started a trend! Looking at your avatar, why haven't you painted your bumpers?

Look at it this way, wether they are or are not $100 is cheap insurance considering if they let go the car can catapult istself into a write-off.

did u fit a differnt diff from a differnt model/ EF diff in el/ or viser versa.. AS EL's and EF's have differnt lenght upper arms. This makes the diff sit on the wrong angle casing a big vibration

I thought you could use the upper arms to facilitate using the lower bolt holes in Tickford diffs in EA-ED non tickford cars? or is this still the case?
