Extreme vibration when accelerating
My 89 Cherokee has been violently shaking every time I accelerate. It had been doing this before until I changed my shims to a different degree, and it subsided for a little bit, but now it is doing it again. When I coast it doesn't do it, only when accelerating. Help

Check your u-joints in both shafts and the telescope in the front for play. Whenever my u joint in my rear driveshaft goes, I can't get over 30 without feeling like I'm gunna die.

But I bet it is a bad u joint. Take it in to a shop and have both replaced. It will cost 50 to 75 bucks. Taking it off is a breeze.
