Removed the propshaft and drives beautiful. New shaft will be on order tomorrow

i will be removing the propshaft this evening, i changed out a bad cv shaft and it didn't fix the vibration.
I found a great link with detailed instructions on removing and reinstalling the propshaft though

thanks ... but nope .... windows all up.

Today i took the car into the tire shop and had 4 new tires put on the car as well as having the wheels balanced ..... drove the car out of there and thought id take it for a little spin and see if the vibration was gone? drove for a bit to get the suspension moving around and stuff .... after about ...

there is not any snow or ice built up in the wheels .... im hoping i dont have a seperated tire

the weather has changed here now in Canada ..... winter .... its getting a little colder and ive noticed a vibration between 45 - 60 km/hour .... its worst at about 50 and seems to almost jar the car. if you are under 40 or over 60 its fine ... no vibration and drives straight.
i'm thinking maybe ...

problem was waterpump .... removed it and it came out in two pieces .... new waterpump, timing belt, tensioner and an idler ...... wooop wooop i have lots of heat now

I believe i have the same cooling problem with my 99 V70 XC ... recently did the heater core, bought the car for $900 ... its in immaculate condition body and interior, knew it needed a heater core and possible thermostat. I changed both but ended up with what i thought was a nasty airlock ...

i just went out to check on the car ..... found a fair bit of coolant under it on the passenger side .... im now thinking the waterpump might be hooped .... i had a look inside the timing belt cover and dont see any coolant on the timing belt, wouldnt the belt be wet if the waterpump was leaking?

took the car to the store ... 2 km away, when i shut down the engine i could hear popping sounds coming from the coolant expansion tank
