You've probably already mentioned this, but what is your pinion angle? Also how are your torque rod bushings?
Hello Guest, welcome to the initial stages of our new platform!

I do have the single piece Aerostar driveshaft in my car, with the smaller Aerostar dampener for the record.
It's a bummer about all the work you're doing to come up snake eyes on the NVH, after all my research, I still haven't found a "smoking gun" in regards to that stuff.

Hey, stupid question here. Have you checked the runout on the driveshaft? I remember going thru hell after having one repaired in town. Even though it balanced out I couldn't get the shop to understand that runout also plays into vibration. The one they retubed had an end that wasn't centered up, had about .060" runout! They refused to admit it was an issue so I took the hit, bought a used one from the yard from a 760 which has the balancer as well. Dropped that in, vibration was completely gone. The shop wouldn't reimburse me so I ended up just grabbing the new bearing and scrapping the damn thing.
Toss it in the air, dial indicator on the tube right by each yoke and the middle of each run of tube. Should be within .015" max I believe.
Well now, guess I probably don't need to check into the BH alignment then if it made no difference. Good to know the Pennzoil made no difference as well. Well, good to know that I don't get to be the one to spend money and find no difference. I do need to look into specs on the Amsoil, see how it does with temperature vs others out there, if it's worth messing with.
thanks for being the guinea pig and actually digging into this stuff man!
It definitely did help mine, going from the multi-car M1 to the Redline, which is thicker looking at the hot and cold specs.
Most excellent! I'm really thinking about giving 50 series a try on my Amazon after seeing your car and Josh's 911. Just means I'll have to lower it about an inch to make it look not so goofy. I've been running 60 series for years but performance tires generally aren't available in 15's in that profile.
60s are nice on comfy, but I like the shorter sidewalls when throwing the car around. I don't know about 205/50 on 15s, though. That's around a 23" tire. Both my 225/50r15 and my 205/50r16 are around 24".
What does your catch can drain to ?
Nothing. It barely catches anything. I've emptied it once in like 8k miles and it had about an ounce of oil in it.
Even in winter ?
