WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED I GET A INTERMITTENT VIBRATION THAT DOESN'T HAVE A PATTERN
TO IT AND FEELS LIKE GOING OVER THE BUMPS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE AIR BAGS SUSPENSION, SO I PUT ON NEW AIR BAGS , STILL HAVE THE SAME VIBRATIONS AND IT SEAMS LIKE THERE ARE CONING FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR. THIS IS NOT A STEADY BUT INTERMEDIATE VIBRATION. ONLY LAST MAYBE 3 TO 4 SECONDS AT A TIME. AND SOMETIMES 10 TO 15 MINUTES BETWEEN VIBRATIONS. WHAT ON EARTH COULD THIS BE?.
THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE. ROB

Could possibly be an issue in the rear differential. Try changing the fluid and see if that helps. be sure to replace with proper fluid weight and check to see if it is a limited slip.
