Help! Vibration at 55-62 mph

[Penni]

Although yours seems not as serious, mine was a track bar which led to death wobble. Ever since it's been replaced along with sway bar end-links, it's been perfection.

Yea the vibrating isn't in the steering its like In the whole truck lol... but it could be front end parts i suppose

Have you looked at the u-joints in the front axle? The axle always turns whether in four wheel drive or not. If the knuckle u-joints are bad, it can cause a speed related vibration and a lot of times can be heard at lower speeds with the wheels cranked over, but not always. Very common with these trucks.

Yes, i had a very reputable shop check the front shaft, velocity joint and all... and balance the shaft... made no difference and the truck still vibrates without front shaft in... but! It is worse with the front shaft in

my 04 1500 4x4 shakes at about 65 70....I do believe its the tires out of rd. guys in the shop told me theyre good but I still thik its the tires...but

I didn't notice driving real slow the other day that I felt this small kind of a bad bearing feeling maybe...in the front...a hub or u joint maybe

so try driving it real slow and wall along side it or where its smooth and quiet just see is ya feel something

I thought this, so i installed a full set of new rims and tires and its still doing it

I have a similar vibration with my 06. I get a hopping at 25-32 MPH and again at 55 MPH. I have not tried to push through the 55 MPH side yet, I just take it slow. If I am stuck in traffic at 30ish MPH it will shake your teeth out. If I am on the throttle hard I will not even feel the 25-32 one and will still feel the 55+ one, but I am slowing down acceleration by then.

Started this fall and has steadily been getting worse. I have checked the u joints and all feel fine, both front and rear. My next thing to try is to take my traction bars off and run around like that for a while and see if they might be out of adjustment. Towing a trailer only makes it worse with mine, and that is what my 06 does 90% of the time I am driving it.

This is how mine started, so bad you couldn't drive it.. mine got better with new rims/ tires... but since then i can't do anything to make it go away entirely

Mine started after I smashed a Honda with it, so I am sure it is something in the driveline tweaked. I have all new brakes, rotors, pads, front end including axle joints, steering, hub bearings, new front driveshaft and joints. The only things that have more than 10k miles on them are the rear driveshaft and its joints and the traction bars, which I think might need adjusted, they have been installed for about 75k miles or so. Mine is a hopping more than a vibration, so I feel it is driveline bind somewhere.
