[QUOTE="Ted Meyer, post: 1043367, member: 75029"] Hi Emory. I originally thought my wheels/tires were out of balance. The vibration would show up right around 70-72mph. I had the wheels balanced and still the vibration showed up. I had a mechanic look at it and they found the "carrier bearing" was ripped and worn out. As I understand it there is a bracket that holds a bearing for the drive shaft support. Inside that bracket is a rubber bushing to isolate the bearing from the drive shaft and the vehicle. That rubber bushing was torn. This allowed the bearing to vibrate at a certain speed. I would also notice a "thunk or thump" when backing up over something or under braking i would sometimes hear a thud when coming to a stop. Hope this helps identify your issue. Good luck. Cheers,Ted.
