JamesDowning wrote:The vibration is most likely a result of torque being transferred through a joint. The torque is somehow exacerbating a surface imperfection on a sliding or rolling surface (or there's not enough rolling surface), or it's binding up a joint in a way that the joint no longer creates a linear relationship between the two sides of the joint.

Bullshit. I had it happen.
I had same vibrations on acceleration, got the alignment done and the vibration never appeared again. It may have appeared a bit out of alignment, but not violently and not enough most would have noticed it by sight.

I can see vibrations here. This is not yours. But the couple I did find look very simuliar.
Camber and Toe this far out yes vibration on excell when the tires camber off slightly.
Does anyone ever take the time to slot the upper strut mount to correct caster or do they just live with someone telling them caster doesnt affect tire wear BS? And an alignment tech that was taught The "green and go method".
I would hope everyone is having their alignments done or checked a couple times a year with the modifications and more so for the guys wheeling. To protect their Tire investments.
And no I don't work at a tire store. LOL

You summed it up well. I would not ever advise slotting the upper mount. Caster does not affect it in as minimal as we end up with. Been proven out for years. Its able to be within a tenth of a degree or so; possibly even in spec with a decent alignment tech. Most do not know it has some adjustment available.
I have not had an alignment in a couple years...other myself doing it in the driveway. I do have a lifetime alignment at firestone, but its 40+ miles to one now and my tires are wearing great. Will eventually make an appointment, but with the multitude of mods and fairly decent wheeling I do...I am just fine with how it is handled.
