I had a vibration in my drive train, read that it could be the u-joints or drive shaft. Took it in to the shop and they verified that assesment. I took it back home and got up underneath it and noticed my ubolts on the springs were loose enough to allow the axle to shift. Tightened the bolts down, now no more vibration!! Lucky it wasn't worse!
Just thought I would share.

Good catch, I'd check again after 100 or 200 miles.

RE: Forum Rules and Guidelines -- Why?
I had a friend who ripped the drivshaft off his 'yota b/c his ubolts were loose! Good thing you caught that.

RE: oil pressure
Well, now ya got me curious. I got not vibes, but it's gonna be warm today, so I'll be out checking ubolts, too! Sunshine and I took it mudding yesterday on a really cool road we found up north by a creek, but I managed to get most of the mud blasted out from under it with the spare change in the console!
