[DeTomaso] Lowered Pantera equals VIBRATION

[tony DiGiovanna]

I've had my pantera at all different ride heights, including the lowest
conceivable by me and worthy of comment by others.  I've never experienced
the phenomenon mentioned.  My first thought is u-joint.  It's probably worth
tracking down, as it may grow into a problem at the higher ride heights.

This past week I was experimenting with my ride height.  I lowered the car a
couple inches but still had lots of clearance all the way around and then
took it out for a spin.  Under hard acceleration there is a bad vibration
coming from the rear end.  I didn't have this before the lowering so I'm
guessing its not a wheel balance issue?  I then raised the car back up to
where I had it before and no more vibration under acceleration.

I checked the wheel nuts were all tight and all my axle bolts tight. When
lowered, could my axles be causing the vibration because they have changed
angles and under acceleration the angle is even more severe?  Are they out
of balance? Any other ideas ?
