I'm not sure what the spec is but that would be what I'd think is about right. Thankfully we have a longtime local driveline service.

Comes in steady at certain rpms and gears. Noticeable on decel, changed for the better with a passengers in the car. I've done so many shim adjustments I can't quote specific ranges anymore. Hopefully I get a chance to drive it tonight and see if removing a .0375" (20 ga) shim made any difference.

Before the 3:73's were installed there was a slight but tolerable vibration in the 65-70 mph......rear view mirror was still usable. That's not the case now.

I'm guessing driveline balance may be off as Blake mentioned, but that yoke depth could be a contributor. When the car was on stands with the rear unsupported the yoke pulls out about 1/8" from the ride height position and there is some slop, at ride height the slop is reduced to what I "think" would insignificant........but thinking has got me in trouble more than once.
