I was getting harsh vibration and noise. Mainly vibration with the foot on the brake with gear in drive (I have an auto) and when under acceleration. It was so embarrasing if anyone was in the car. Also, the car would shimmy while cornering or when the load would come up off the suspension (as when rising over a hill).
Inner drivers were very worn. I felt the huge grooves worn into them on each of the three "spiders" (I think they're called - where the tripod bearing rests against)
I could have gotten away with replacing the inner drivers, the two o-rings (one large and one small - they were hard as a brick), and the tripod bearing, but I figured that since it's all torn down, just replace the rest of the axles. They were about $80 each - why not?
I guess I'm so amazed as I've never driven a 900 that doesn't vibrate (as mine is the only one I've driven). I've driven it like that since I got the car (last September) - so to me, it's like a new car!
