Vibration starts at 35 mph (2013 CX-5 AWD)
- Thread starter Mazzydude
- Start date
Update - I took the car to a mechanic that has the equipment to balance a drive shaft, they test drove the vehicle and analyzed the drive shaft and have determined the universal joint at the rear of the driveshaft is starting to fail. I have ordered a new drive shaft from Rock Auto (Dorman part) and will be installing this myself to save some $$$
Does anyone know the correct torque specs for the nuts holding the driveshaft to the rear differential (and front), as well as the support bearing?

Might want to check out the following post, in the "2016 and up CX-5 Service Manual" discussion thread:
For my 2016.5 CX-5 (KE model), I downloaded the manual. It contains the 2014 vintage data, specs, service procedures. @ pp 4559-4565, there's a section on "Driveline/Axle" and dealing with the propeller shaft, including listing the various bolts and their torque values.
If you download the right manual, it ought to show you everything related to the parts you're going to be dealing with.
