Vibrations...not the good kine

After running my other set of shoes and having some rubbing issues I ended up putting the Rapiers back on after Spacers couldn't fix the problem. But I think that all that rubbing might have already done it damage. I got some vibrations coming from my right rear, only when I gradually speed up from a complete stop. Strange thing that is the only time that I can feel the vibrations. I had the same vibrations with the other set so I have eliminated the fact the wheels need to be "re-balanced".

I have checked the lateral rod and rear axel for some "play" and I clearly am not rubbing so I am dumb founded. Any suggestions out there? Maybe my bushings are bad from lowering the Egg. Any help/suggestions would be very much appreciated.

yoshi swing on over .. i can take a look at it.. could be the drive shaft bushing or maybe the u joints. I hope you didnt mess up the bearings in the rear end.. where the axle shaft come out.. I seen how those new wheels were rubbing the inside .

Thanks.....I will definately come swing by, maybe Sunday? It is so strange how she only vibrates from a dead stop to gradual picking up speed only. Once I am at driving speed not vibrations.......it is bugging the crap out of me. I sure hope that I didn't do some serious damage.

Check the axle shafts. Had a customer with the same experience and basically the grease was coming out and components inside the axle was coming apart.
