You guys who are lowered and did not use output shaft spacers and have the shakes on acceleration may have CV joints that are showing bad wear.

I have the shaking problem at 80mph and only out of the back right... is this from the axels or cv joints you think??? It's weird how it happens at 80 and above...

Look at the top of the "under the hood forum" stickied under faq's for the inner CV joint swap. This can be done with labor and some new grease. Good luck.
