Another question is: how often do you all replace the differential fluid? I probably need to drain the differential to see what kind of condition the fluid is in to rule out a failing differential. Then new flex disks next to see if the problem goes away. I am not feeling any vibration from the driveline so I guess the center bearing components are OK? Also, I understand axles on MB's are live axles so could collaped subframe mounts really cause this problem?
