The final answer and a question

We finally decided the strip all the rubber off that extra part that was between the drive shaft and rear flex disc. Then put it back together the same way it was. We also changed the front disc. When road tested the vibration was much better but not perfect. However, the rear tires were badly worn so I had them replaced and now the car is silky smooth all the way up 95!

I had the car aligned when I put tires on about 30,000 miles ago and the front tires still look very good, but the rears had steel showing on the inside edge and were worn very unevenly!

I'm looking for a good alignment shop in the Rockford, Illinois area. Can anyone give me a recommendation? I don't have a lot of confidence in the shop that did it last time. Update: I called a number of shops that said they couldn't do it. The local dealer could but not for two weeks, but recommended Archer Alignment in DeKalb, Illinois. They can do a four wheel alignment for me on Thursday. Cost, a little under a hundred.

Thanks!
