SAJCO Loses the plot

I have a Colt 2800D workhorse. It's a spare/backuo work bakkie for 'just in case'...
It has a severe vibration issue, it starts at 60km/h & is really bad by 70km/h
The steel canopy adds to the drama with a booming sound.

Took it to SAJCO Randburg as they had replaced the rear yoke 3 years/6700km ago.

After 2 days they concluded it must be the shocks.

Now, I'm no prop expert, but I'll tell you something for nothing
"When you feel a rotational oscillation is the shocks - you know less about your job than Cyril Ramarama Couch Stuffer".

I googled Propshaft places 'Driveshafts Centre in Malibongwe Dr came up.
But I have a rule: I will NOT use a company with less than 24 Google Reviews or a Google Rating below 4.5

My Company has 85 Reviews & a4.9 rating - so I feel I'm being fair.

Driveshafts Center has a 4.2 Star rating & after reading the negative reviews I decided no.
I realized that I'd probably end up beating someone like an unloved awkward Ginger stepchild gets beaten..

So I took it to Propshaft & CV Empire - 78 Reviews 4.8 Rating.

I'll let you know.

But SAJCO - no way!

Never used SAJCO. But then again, I very seldom break driveshafts.

I'd probably use the cheapest cretin in Brits and it will be fine.

SAJCO are fairly specialised : Prop Shafts & CV Joints.
your problem is probably to do with
suspension or wheel alignment etc

Stay away from Driveshaft Center in that Malibongwe center. Had family working there, scary stories.
