Over the weekend I noticed a vibration at my feet that I hadn't noticed before. It occurred under 3/4 to full throttle in 3rd gear. Felt like my drive shaft might be rubbing against something. This evening after work, I crawled under it and there is a fairly deep groove in my drive shaft. It is being dug by the parking brake cables bracket. There is about a 3 inch clearance, but the bracket shows wear, too.

The drive shaft does not look warped and nothing feels out of balance. Can my suspension be giving that much under acceleration? I did just install my supercharger.


Thanks for any insight.
