Hello peeps first thread on this forum!!

So ive had this galant about a year which i found on the forum here and i have to say i have thoroughly enjoyed it but i can not for the life of me figure out this vibration issue. I have a link to a thread on the galant forum but ill try to summarize it here.

Ive replaced the drive shaft with a aluminum drive shaft shop unit and put a new torque solutions carrier bearing mounts and new carrier bearing. Ive also replaced the front axles and front engine mount (also torque solutions) the car vibrates bad around 3-5k rpm and more noticeable in higher gears. I can pull the car out of gear at speeds and the vibration goes away all together. Along with the vibration its seems to be making a clunk or pinging noise witch i will post a video of. I really appreciate any feedback and info!

You have a solid motor mount? I'm assuming the car did ot vibrant before this?

its a solid poly mount not solid metal.

non oe motor mounts will do it, especially if the balance shaft was removed.

its more than just motor mount vibration. I'm thinking the rear end needs to be rebuilt. Still haven't figured out if the balance shaft was removed or not. Still trying to figure this out hopefully ill order a TRE rebuilt rear hear soon.
