Will the lack of this spacer mess up the drive line angles, causing an RPM driven vibration? Thanks, Jason

The only way to know for sure is to measure the angles at both ends of the drive shaft, or you can just put in a spacer and find out. If the lack of spacer is the problem, it will show up by the time you reach highway speed. If you notice the vibration before reaching speed, slow down and remove the spacer. Go to a drivline shop and bite the bullet.

Any suggestions on what would cause an RPM driven vibration? I was thinking pinion angle or trans mount issues (its new but that does not seem to mean anything these days). Jason
