Making a statement like that discredits him in a big way. Why would I watch if he’s coming off with something like that?


My experience with rear tire balance seems to be different than his. But I learned something from his experience with the U joints. I would have never thought to check that area. Nobody's perfect and sometimes important things can be learned from surprising places.


Gonna admit you are right on the U-joints. Blew up my Mustangs rear at 50k and got a new unit. That thing vibrated at every speed. Turned it back in for another new unit from a major supplier. Now it only vibrates at 70mph. We did all sorts of stuff on the first replacement including flipping the shaft 180. Finally went with a Ford Racing one piece driveshaft. Still a vibration at 70mph but it needs it 5k covered fluid change now. Thinking of just checking the gaps. I know UT says the caps are that way for bigger ford c- clips, but hey, you never know. Besides checking it out would take what, 10 minutes maybe.
