It is so loud it drowns out the radio.
It is not as loud when I let off the accelerator and it starts to go away above 80 MPH.
The only thing I see from the shop manual pics. that I did not do right was the shim on the front diff mount. It is supposed to be between the diff and the bottom of the two piece bushing. I have it on top of the sub-frame under the top bushing.
I am going to move it tonight.
Could this one piece being out of place be transmitting all this noise through the sub-frame and body?
Yes, it is possible for an incorrectly assembled mount to act as a noise transmitter/amplifier.
