    Did you refill the front diff fluid when you changed the CV axle?

    Low fluid could be a source of vibration.

    Also, if you overfilled the diff and the fluid is foaming it can lose its lubricating ability. Fluid works. Bubbles don't.

    If you open the fill plug does fluid spill out? Is it bubbly?

    Yeah you can unbolt the rear drive shaft and drive in 4wd. It’ll make it front wheel drive.

    If it truly is the issue, the best solution is a 1 piece driveshaft.

    Sidenote, driveshafts are phased in 1 direction. Make sure you mark how your driveshaft is mounted before removing it.

    I did refill the front diff. I used a write up on here, but can't remember exactly how much fluid I put in. I'll check for bubbles a little later today.
    I may try this then. I'll be sure to mark it, but this seems like the easiest way to eliminate the drive shaft or figure out the cause of all this. Thank you.
