    MY CAR HAS HAD A NOTICEABLE VIBRATION SINCE NEW. THE 96 CAMARO HAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR VIBRATION OF DRIVE SHAFT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE ONE ON MY 97 BECAUSE THERE IS NO BULLETIN ON THE 97 CAMAROS. IF THEY WERE BAD FOR 96 THEN THEY SHOULD ALSO BE INVESTIGATED ON THE 97 MODELS. IT SEEMS THAT A VIBRATION AT SPEEDS CAN LEAD TO MECHANICAL FAILURE OF DRIVE LINE COMPONENTS. WITH SPEEDS OF 70MPH ON MOST INTERSTATE THIS COULD LEAD TO A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. I JUST WANT THE 97 MODELS TO BE LOOKED AT FOR THE SAME PROBLEM THAT EXISTED ON THE 96 MODELS.
