2004 Ford Escape driveline vibration
My '04 Escape has around 87,000 miles on it. About 1000 miles ago, it started having a very slight vibration in the 8 to 20 mph range. It has consistently been getting worse. I now feel the small vibration at 55 mph. I haven't driven it in 4 1/2 months because of it. I bought a used drive shaft from a junk yard for $60.00. Haven't done anything with it since. What tools do I need and are there any special precautions I need to take when doing this job? I don't have a whole lot of cash to burn on it but will buy the right parts needed to fix it. Any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Complete job instructions would be better. I have a degree in diesel mechanics so I am inclined to understand, I just need to know what I'm up against.
