Default Vibration STILL here...

OK guys... I changed my u joins (2) on my main driveshaft. I changed my Trans mount. My motor mounts. Still have a little vibration during the first 2 or 3 Seconds of any gear when accelerating. Are there torque specs these are all supposed to be at? Can you accidentally break any of the bolts if you crank them down? (On any of the mounts I mean) or.. is this normal break in? It's a bit annoying and I doubt they came from the factory this way.

As always, any help appreciated.

How long ago did you change them? Took mine a good month or more to start feeling normal and it's still not like what is why prior to them going bad. But i realized it's 17 y/o jeep and have come to live it.

Good point... maybe that factory feel is just gone. I just had no idea if this was even relatively normal or I did something wrong. All the changes were pretty straight forward.

I also kinda felt like if I had taken this in to be fixed and it still vibrated I'd be taking it back tho. Anyone else think this is just breaking in?
