check the uni joints on the tail shaft, makesure theres no play in them, also check the rubber "mount" around the torque tube for any cracks

also the 4 bolts holding the tail shaft to the tube. i got under mine one day for a look to see why it was vibrating and these 4 bolts were not even tight. i could take em of with my hand

Don't weld them. u cant anyway. Coz they bolt into an alloy casing. I had the same prob, use a generous amount of locktite. Fixed it on my gem for good.

i suggest using bolts that have a shaft and then thread not bolts tyhat are all thread. using nylocks is another way

Gene FJ20DET · Posted: Wed Jul 30, 2003 11:00 am Post subject: Re: sujestions please

paint a small strip of white out or spray paint down one side of the bolt, and let it dry then put them back in. easy fix for the original bolts. also makesure u have the spring washers in there still. the paint/white out will grit up the thread making it hard to come undon, but not to hard that u cant ever get em off again.
