[DeTomaso] Lowered Pantera equals VIBRATION

[Mike Thomas]

Good to hear you out there!  Check that your bolts are tight as well, where
the half shafts are bolted to the side flanges on the ZF and at the upright.
Also, while your wheels are off the ground, check your rear bearings for
movement.

I'm going to check my drive shafts and make sure they are lined up
correctly. Hopefully its that simple.
