    Well Cece, that is my exact problem as well so your not the only one, but funny how mine JUST started since going from 31" tires to 32" tires and the 912 springs....although others are not having that problem.....How long did balancing the driveshaft fix your problem?

    It didn't really fix it, it made it less noisy for like a week maybe...

    Okay, so I was getting my brakes done at the mechanic and he noticed I need a new transfer case mount. Maybe, that's what I've needed all along. I ordered the part from Merlin. I will let you know once it is replaced.

    That would definately cause driveshaft noise.

    Lisa you can check the mount pretty easy. Just need to crawl under the VX (when it is cool) and try to push the transfer case/tranny up and down. If it moves the mount is either bad or the bolts have come loose (has happened to quite a few on here including me). Because the mount has a rubber "block" in it it tends to vibrate loose over time.
