    Sorry its off topic but I just picked up a 92 s-10 as a daily driver. Its an extended cab V6 Automatic. It has a vibration under acceleration. The vibration goes away once at a steady speed or when coasting, and breaking. Its not lowered YET, so I know its not a pinion angle issue. Since its an extended cab it should have a carrier bearing n (I have not looked yet). Would a bad bearing cause the vibration? Any other ideas what it might be.

    or a sloppy trans mount. the factory ones are very soft and break easy. replacement urethane ones are only $25. might as well do the carrier too. I've done 3 and they were all close to needing both.

    I had a hanger bearing go on the driveshaft of my S-10 and it started vibrating at a certain speed and then would go away as speed increased, much like a tire imbalance. It did seem to go away or lessen under coast but I never noticed what it was doing under acceleration, a well built 350 distracted me. A hanger bearing may look and feel good but if its got some milage on it I would replace it.
