88pathoffroad Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Tried rotating the tires front to back? That doesn't usually just happen overnight for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entropy98 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Sound a little more violent than what I was experiencing but here is a link that might give you some insight hope it helps. CLICK HERE I had the some vibration between 40, and 50. Got new tires and it helped a bit, but what the link says is what fixed mine. Have you experienced any front end play when you go over bumps? If so it could also be your tie rod ends getting loose. That is what my problem was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 it can also be bj or something like that up front.. get under your truck and look. if nothing, then lift it and see if anything is loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FUELER Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 it can be: Tires - flat spots or sidewall bubbles Wheels - Bent rims (out of round) or out of balance Loose wheel bearings. When was the last time you repacked them? there's more, but those are the 1st things I would try and diagnose. Try rotating the wheels and see if that has an effect.
