vibration

[shorepatrol2]

vibration above 65- 70 in seat and pedal , not rpm dependent , same in drive or overdrive had tires rebalanced , no change, since it is not rpm dependent should I be looking at driveshaft back, any input appreciated

driveshaft, bent wheel, worn bushings, bad shocks... it's hard to tell...

shocks are original , those are next , hope thats it , the wheels and tires are new

driveshaft has alot of rust on it , hope it's not that

I have a 99 suburban with the same problem and i replace both cv joints, and have brand new tires on it and it still has the same vibration. DId you every find out what was the cause of it?

[shorepatrol2]

still haven't taken the drive shaft too have it looked at , when I do I'll post results

I would lean towards a bent wheel. Just because they were balanced doesn't mean anything, you can balance a cinder block if you hammer on enough weight.

 

As far as tires go, new doesn't mean good. Back when i was busting tires for a living, I saw my fair share of brand new tires that were screwed just from how they were stored in the warehouse.

Did you ever solve this problem? This sounds like the exact same problem I'm having and I seriously doubt its a bent wheel. The vibration is right in the middle of the vehicle and nowhere else and the transfer case shift handle vibrates like mad. If I accelerate hard then let off the gas momentarily, the problem goes away so long as I stay in the 75+mph range, as soon as it comes back down around 65mph the vibration is back with a vengance. Also its quiet as can be up to 60mph. The dealer has no clue and I'd really like to find someone who has had this problem and found the fix.

i have the same problem around 80 plus i blew out my extension housing on the back of the tranny because of this vibration and got a new driveshaft new u joints and it still does it around 85 or so kinda scary if you find out what it is let me know.

You are right anyhow. The original poster probably has another set of tires or even another truck now. I've found low-speed problems: bent wheel(s); high-speed problems: tires. Sometimes a slightly bent wheel can fool the balancer and create the high speed vibration.
