Can't wait to get this installed
Parts installed, vibration at 2k rpm is gone! and the thunk/clunk i felt in the drive shaft is mostly gone. clunk is less apparent but it's not 100% gone. However the little bit of clunk that is still there on hard acceleration/shifting isn't too worrisome considering these cars naturally had it even new from the factory from what I've gathered. The car feels really healthy overall! Blackstone lab analysis should be back within the next week or so depending on the holidays.

Have a good Christmas 🤙🏽
Are you sure the clunk isn't coming from the rear end? (Subframe)
Good call - the rear subframe was inspected for cracks and showed no cracks, however it could be the rear subframe bushings like many others have mentioned in other posts or the rear diff bushings as well! I'm gonna have new bushings put in both the rear diff and the subframe.

It's not a massive clunk it's honestly very minor, but either way it's best to sort it now rather than ignoring it and having a real issue later.
