I've been chasing various vibes and have drastically reduced most but still had the classic driveshaft vibe at 75 MPH.
I bought a driveshaft balancer from balancemaster.com and installed it but it didn't work. All it did was change the sound/frequencyof the vibe. In addition, it has metal flanges surrounding it that hit the driveshaft tunnel and brake line-not good.
I then used a giant hose clamp, like has been suggested before and after fiddling with about 8 different positions dramatically reduced the vibe. The car may even be back to normal but I can't tell because this is the only Fox I've had.
Be prepared to commit yourself if you try the hose clamp method because I got lucky and hit the sweet spot after two attempts and then tried fine tuning it by rotating the clamp slightly clockwise and counterclockwise. On my car moving the clamp as little as 1/4 inch lost the balance.
Edit- This is an aluminum driveshaft-brand new.
