99 chevy tahoe 114,000 miles
Irecently replaced the ujoints on the driveshaft and still have a vibration coming from the rear of the vehicle. could this be a wheel bearing or is there something else I should look at first? I did line up the driveshaft by marking the joints before I removed it and I did not lose any of the weights. would appreciate any help I can get

Thanks

To check your wheel bearings raise the rear end of the vehicle and put 1 hand on the top of the tire and 1 hand on the bottom.
If it wiggles it's a bearing.
Look for uneven tire wear as well.

Suggested Repair

Raise the rear of the vehicle and check the wheel bearings by placing one hand on the top of the tire and one on the bottom. If the wheel wiggles, the bearing is bad. Also inspect the tires for uneven wear.
