I wouldn't adjust anything more until you are satisfied with the final 
hieght adjustments. On '56 the car should sit somewhat high and level.

drive shaft angle. Does this car vibrate on acceleration at around 30
to 40 mph? If so, that is why. There usually are shims under the
mounting for the drive shaft center bearing, and also at the rear axle
support struts. These need to be added or subtracted in order to obtain
the correct angle. The procedure is outlined in the FSM>

 

Actually, it does vibrate around 30 to 40. I've long thought the drive 
shaft and/or u-joints were to blame. After having the u-joints re-done, 
the vibration seemed to lessen, maybe because I adjusted the shims on 
the center carrier when I re-installed the shafts. I guess more 
adjustment there and at the rear axle struts is in order.
